Their tour hits the Hollywood Bowl Saturday. Sting: 'The audience gets a kick out of seeing us together. He’s bigger than me, but we look similar.'

The two visit the Hollywood Bowl Saturday, the day after Joe's album release. They talk about what they learn from one another and why Joe no longer needs to avoid 'the elephant in the room'will be doing Saturday night, the day after his debut solo album, “Sunshine in the Night,” is released.

Sting’s last solo album, “The Bridge,” was released in 2021, but this is a greatest hits tour, a continuation of his self-explanatorily titled “My Songs” tour, encompassing hits from a remarkable career, both with the Police and not. Though Joe’s footsteps singing, playing bass, and writing songs eerily echo those of dad , Joe’s set will reflect how he’s carved his own path, living in Los Angeles with his family, and vibing on his own muses, appearing unfazed by Sting’s dizzying achievements.

Joe, you’re finally releasing your solo debut, which was a victim of pandemic delays. Did the delay have you chewing your fingernails, or did you use the time to change the record up?It gave me chance to go in and change a whole bunch of things. The idea of the album was it was going to be acoustic guitar and voice, and that was it. Then I went in and added every instrument I could think of.Yeah, I was thinking a lot.

He’s never known life without me making an awful lot of row.It was just always happening, just a thing you do. And I still don’t feel like I’ve done anything unless I do a gig.We’ve done it a lot. When Joe had a band in school, sometimes the support act would not turn up and we’d get his band to come in. Ferry them in.
