Sting- The Last Ship- pt 2

Sting- The Last Ship- pt 1

Sting hosting a very personal discussion of his family as well as their cultural history, centered in the shipyard of the Northern England seaport city of Walls End/Newcastle, where "your casket is sealed with a riveter's gun..." and retold as fable as the bold multi-dimensional album and 2014 Broadway musical "The Last Ship". Listen here to Sting in part one of two of "The Last Ship".
