Sting, wife get degrees

STING sang My One and Only Love at Brown University in New York after he and his wife Trudie Styler accepted honorary degrees.

Brown presented them with the degrees yesterday at its 250th commencement.

Nobel prize-winning physicist J. Michael Kosterlitz was among the other honorees.

Sting in 1977 formed the pioneering British rock band The Police with Stewart Copeland and Andy Summers.

He and Styler co-founded an environmental organisation, the Rainforest Fund, to protect the world’s rainforests.
