Extended interview: Sting

In this web exclusive, the rock musician Sting talks with Mark Phillips about his stage musical, “The Last Ship,” in which he stars, and which is being performed on a global tour. He calls the show an elegy for what Newcastle and its people represented to him growing up. He also discusses why, for him, uncertainty is a key component of art; why performing “Roxanne” today is never tiresome; and why, for him, music is a church.
