I hope he's not doing it just to bring attention to himself though T. I don't dislike a few of Sting's records, but he's an arrogant person.

Well at least the proceeds from the show're going to the survivors and relatives of those who were killed.

I think so, yes, but it was years ago now. Not even sure where it was, but probably at a festival, or gig where others were playing as well.
