Sting will hit the stage at the American Music Awards next month, and the icon will receive a special honour for his successful career.
Dick Clark Productions said on Monday that Sting will receive The American Music Award of Merit on November 20 at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. The award was last given in 2008, to Annie Lennox. Other recipients include Michael Jackson, Prince, Johnny Cash, Whitney Houston and Paul McCartney.
The 65-year-old former Police lead singer will perform a medley of his hits, including his latest single I Can’t Stop Thinking About You. Sting will release a new album, 57th & 9th, on November 11.
Bruno Mars will open the AMAs, which will air live on ABC. Drake is the leading nominee at the fan-voted show.
