Sting is the latest artist to take part in the Covid-19-inspired “In My Room” video session for Rolling Stone. Sting played in his home studio with backing tracks, and was filmed performing his Police classic “Message In A Bottle,” along with his solo favorites “Englishman In New York,” and “Fragile.”

Sting told the viewers: “I’m lucky enough to have a recording studio here, where I can work everyday. I’m very fortunate; I’m very grateful. I’m also grateful for our healthcare workers, who are doing an extraordinary job, risking their lives everyday on the front line. The best thing that we can do is to help them, and not to get sick, and not to add to their workload, because we are all in this together.”
