Saturday marked the first South African date of the Sting: Back To Bass worldwide tour. The concert to celebrate 25 years of Gordon Sumner’s solo career was held at Joburg’s Coca-Cola Dome and, surprisingly for a big international act, two dates were booked at the same venue - the 16-time Grammy Award-winning Sting performing again yesterday. Also unusual was the lack of opening acts. The bassist/vocalist made famous by multiplatinum '80s new wave band The Police played an impressively long set (about 19 songs) without a break.

The chart-topping companion album to the film THE HUNGER GAMES, "THE HUNGER GAMES": SONGS FROM DISTRICT 12 AND BEYOND, will unlock a free download of 'Deep in the Meadow (Lullaby)' performed by Sting beginning March 27, 2012. The track can also be purchased as a single from major digital retailers. 'Lullaby' remains a centerpiece of THE HUNGER GAMES.
