Sting is once again paying tribute to the ghosts and heroes of his youth. On December 5th, the legendary artist released The Last Ship (Expanded Edition), a newly expanded version of his deeply personal 2013 album, now available in digital, CD, and a 2-disc vinyl format.
More than just a reissue, this release is a powerful musical overture for a major international re-staging of The Last Ship musical, in which Sting will return to the stage to reprise his acclaimed starring role as shipyard foreman Jackie White. The new production is set to premiere next year with prestigious engagements in Amsterdam, Paris, Brisbane, and perhaps most notably, at the revered Metropolitan Opera House in New York City.
The heart of this expanded edition lies in five newly recorded tracks, which blend Sting’s signature voice with a collection of impressive collaborators and new arrangements that breathe fresh life into the show’s material. These additions underscore the enduring, raw power of the narrative—a tribute to the collapsed shipbuilding industry of his hometown, Wallsend, in northeast England.
