Alan Shearer and Jimmy Nail were among the packed audience in Newcastle on Thursday night, to witness a very special show from music legend Sting, on his return to home turf, with Jimmy getting up to sing with the Wallsend native.
Last month it was confirmed that Sting, frontman of The Police and the man who's given us classics like Fields of Gold and When We Dance as a solo artist, would be taking to the stage at the Live Theatre, to celebrate the Tyneside venue's 50th birthday. Those who were lucky enough to get their hands on tickets were promised a night of Sting talking about his illustrious career and performing stripped back versions of some of his famous tracks.
Those who were there on Thursday, were quick to take to Twitter to share just what an amazing evening they'd had and, among those in attendance were Newcastle United icon Shearer and singer and actor Jimmy, who himself has been on the Live Theatre stage, as part of its birthday festivities and joined Sting on stage on Thursday evening to perform some songs from musical The Last Ship.
