Ahh I do hope Paul is not a horrible person, it wouldn't matter I'd still love his music but still it'd be a bit disappointing.

I feel a little uncomfortable just coming out with this but here goes...I feel you guys won't judge me too badly, hopefully. I'm gay and was just curious about what Paul felt about such things?

Brian Eno on working with Paul "One of the nice things about Paul is he has absolutely no ego . and he's got a very good sense of humour" and the secret is to send him out shopping!

An insight into rehearsing with Paul from Sunpie Barnes who joined Paul's band for the Sting Tour.

Bodo regarding" Mr Alienation " there are a few photos around of Paul socializing with the band during the Australian tour last year and also he flew with band members to visit Uluru during the S and G tour 2009. Art did not join them though! But mostly I would say,at his age, he would have to conserve his energy for the performances !

Hi Billy,

You're welcome here and I think all people are equal for Paul, I would'nt worry about that :)

Thanks Brenda for these great articles. Reading a whole article puts things in a better perspective. The article of Brian is nice and he is honest about first having some reservations about Paul but later he changed his mind when he got to know him better.

I also loved Sunpie's story about working with Paul. It must be a great experience and learning process and probably not always easy but in the end very satisfying when it all works out on stage.

Hi Billy. Welcome to the group. Great to have you on board.And Paul is definitely not a horrible person!! He is a very courteous , in the opinion of most of us who have met and spoken with him and also by most of his peers. Certainly respected and held in high regard by his musicians ,some of whom have toured with him for over 25 years! Works tirelessly for charity and benefit nights and is a co founder of the Children's Health Fund ,a charity he has been actively involved in for over 25 years.
