In Your Own Words: I once had the most surreal experience featuring Sting. I was staying in a small village in the South of France called Saint-Paul-de-Vence and had made a playlist of nothing but Sting for the trip. One morning, as I walked down to the local café, I looked up - and there he was, strolling towards me with Trudie. It felt as if the universe had conspired to make it happen. That evening, they even ended up seated near me at a little restaurant in the village. I never had the courage to say hello or interrupt them, but just being in their presence felt special - it’s a memory I’ll never forget.
