Sting and Wayne Shorter received the Polar Music Prize on June 15, 2017 at a ceremony at Konserthuset Stockholm in Sweden.
Several artists honored the Laureates together with the The Royal Stockholm Philarmonic Orchestra, led by maestro Hans Ek. One exceptional highlight of the evening was Annie Lennox surprising Sting by attending the evening. To honour him, Lennox performed Sting's āFragileā.
JosĆ© Feliciano also read the citation for Sting (Ā Ā Ā ā¢Ā StingĀ receivesĀ theĀ PolarĀ MusicĀ PrizeĀ ...Ā Ā ):
"The 2017 Polar Music Prize is awarded to the singer, musician and composer Sting, real name Gordon Sumner, from Wallsend in Northumberland. Sting grew up in a shipyard town in northeastern England. As a child his thoughts and dreams roamed as far as the ships that sailed from his town. Internal and external travel has also characterised his music. As a member of the trio The Police, and later as a solo artist, Sting has never sat back and rested on his laurels; he has put down his anchor in more musical harbours than perhaps any other artist of his generation. As a composer, Sting has combined classic pop with virtuoso musicianship and an openness to all genres and sounds from around the world. Sting is a true citizen of the world, who has also been indefatigable in using his position as an arena-filling artist to promote human rights."
The Polar Music Prize was founded in 1989 by the late Stig āStikkanā Anderson, one of the true greats in the history of popular music. As the publisher, lyricist and manager of ABBA, he played a key role in their enormous success. Its name stems from Andersonās legendary record label, Polar Music.
The Polar Music Prize is one of the most prestigious and unique music prizes in the world, crossing over musical boundaries and awarded to individuals, groups and institutions in recognition of exceptional achievements.

The talent of Annie Lennox is only eclipsed by how gracious she has always carried herself. Great tribute for Sting

Annie Lennox has a genius IQ and the voice of a Siren. I would shipwreck myself to see her in concert again. Wrapped in what looked like leopard skin, feral and fearless, she tore the roof off the Orpheum. She's right up there with Paul Rodgers and Freddie, a rock goddess, born from original sin. She redeems us every time she sings a note. I hope she lives forever.

The Eurythmics and The Police were the music of my youth, this is making me sad.
I'm so grateful and glad to have been in my 20's in the 80's.

The privilege is not only Annie's, it's Sting's also. Doesn't matter how big you are, if Annie Lennox is performing your song it's such a huge privilege.

Holy f*****g shit. She just came out of nowhere, sat by the piano, played it like Chopin while singing one of the most touching songs in history with such a deeply sad and emotional voice, absolutely nailing it, making Sting cry, just minutes after he said "WOW" when she entered the stage - this just has to be the definition of pure art. Annie You ROCK!!!

Sting's face was the best part of this entire performance. His genuine emotion got me. Anne nailed it perfectly.

Speechless -not only her voice and interpretation of Sting's song but also her incredible piano playing - such a compelling performance.

Imagine being that one person who can bring a tear to Stingās eye and renders him speechless.

Stingās version is bittersweet, but Annieās is bone-chilling and post-apocalyptic. Shattering. Beautiful.

when someone like a Voice judge tells a contestant - you don't connect to the song, I always go back to this video. Annie at one point started to sound like she is pushing back tears, knowing she needs to go on with the performance. To all you haters - this is what pure raw emotion sounds like and if you don't like it - please go back to your autotuned world, take your dislikes and hateful comments with you and let us enjoy the pure talent that is Annie Lennox.
