Sting sang a refreshing version of his signature song “Englishman in New York,” as a duet with reggae star Shaggy, and it was followed by his 1987 single “We’ll Be Together.”
A video message from Peter Gabriel appeared on the giant televised screen, where he apologized for not being there, however, Sting honored him with a moving rendition of “Sledgehammer,” which was irresistible.
Sting was also a part of the all-star grand finale, where they sang Journey’s inspirational “Don’t Stop Believin’.”
