Sting knows his latest crossover project will annoy his detractors. And, he tells The Daily Telegraph's Neil McCormick, he couldn't care less...

"I don't need everyone to love me," says Sting. "I really don't." The 58-year-old superstar is preparing to go on stage with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, augmented by his own four-piece band, to perform orchestral rearrangements of songs from his back catalogue.

Sting's 'Symphonicities' tour rocks with a classical twist - CNN interview Sting at the Hollywood Bowl...

Sting is front and center at the Hollywood Bowl, belting out the familiar melody of 'Roxanne', The Police's 1978 ode to a prostitute. All of a sudden, a cello solo fills the air. Within a few elegant notes, the image of a common street hooker is upgraded to that of a high-priced call girl. Backed by a 45-piece symphony, Sting launches into 'Next to You', an early Police thrasher-punk gem. Several musicians stand up and rock out. Some actually head-bang while sawing enthusiastically on their violins...

Sting's Symphonicity Tour is Coming to the Met (and Docking in a Town Near You, Too) - reports The Huffington Post...

Vintage rockers and classical music shouldn't mix. But one thing I love about getting older is that most of the rockstars I adored when I was a teenager - especially those who now sing in front of 45-piece orchestras - are too grown-up for pretense. Even so, to say the pleasures of Symphonicity (Sting's current tour with the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra, coming to New York's Metropolitan Opera on July 13 and 14), took me by surprise is a gracious understatement...

Sting and the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra Power Through the Heat...

Very few musicians have the means - or ability - to tour with an entire orchestra. Fewer still would dub the tour something as cheeky as 'Symphonicity' - e.g., a pun-laden reference to a blockbuster album. But that juxtaposition of the lighthearted and the refined summed up Sting's magnificent show with the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra last night at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater...

'Symphonicity Tour': Sting swings with orchestra - Star reinvents hits with his 'biggest band' - reports the Las Vegas Review-Journal...

"Loyal fans can only smile as Sting finds more ways to reinvent or deconstruct the classic hits than they ever thought possible. Friday's show was in the same MGM Grand Garden arena as the Police reunion of two years ago, and those at either concert still haven't heard 'Every Little Thing She Does is Magic' with the rinky-tink piano that drove the original recording. What the faithful have learned is to trust Sting's taste. Here, the leap of faith was that the orchestra was there for a reason, not just replacing keyboard textures with Summer Pops pomp..."
