\n\tSting<\/a> isn\u2019t worried about the legacy of \u201cEvery Breath You Take,\u201d even if it is somewhat tied to Sean \u201cDiddy<\/a>\u201d Combs forever.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a new interview with the Los Angeles Times<\/a> <\/em>published Monday (Nov. 11), the Police frontman was asked whether his feelings toward his band\u2019s iconic 1983 hit \u2014 which the disgraced Bad Boy Records founder famously sampled in his own \u201cI\u2019ll Be Missing You\u201d \u2014 now that Combs is facing trial for numerous allegations of sexual abuse, racketeering and more. <\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tDiddy\u2019s Son King Combs Takes Control of Dad\u2019s Socials While He\u2019s in\u00a0Prison\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n

\n\t\u201cNo,\u201d Sting began. \u201cI mean, I don\u2019t know what went on [with Diddy]. But it doesn\u2019t taint the song at all for me. It\u2019s still my song.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe original \u201cEvery Breath You Take\u201d spent eight weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100<\/a> the year it came out, and it remains The Police\u2019s only No. 1 hit on the chart. Fourteen years later, Diddy released \u201cI\u2019ll Be Missing You\u201d as a tribute to the late Notorious B.I.G. with Faith Evans and 112, featuring an interpolation of Sting\u2019s classic; it spent 11 weeks at No. 1.<\/p>\n

\n\tDiddy was arrested Sept. 16 on charges of abuse, sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson and bribery, after which he was immediately taken into custody and denied bail multiple times as he awaits trial on May 5, 2025. The most recent update in his case came Friday (Nov. 8), when a judge rejected <\/a>his \u201cunprecedented\u201d and \u201cunwarranted\u201d request that a gag order be issued against his alleged victims and their lawyers on the grounds that they were making \u201cinflammatory extrajudicial statements aimed at assassinating Mr. Combs\u2019s character in the press.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe court has an affirmative constitutional duty to ensure that Combs receives a fair trial,\u201d the judge wrote. \u201cBut this essential \u2026 requirement must be balanced with the protections the First Amendment affords to those claiming to be Combs\u2019s victims.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMeanwhile, Sting has been touring once again as part of a trio with guitarist Dominic Miller and drummer Chris Maas, a setup not unlike his three-person lineup with The Police\u2019s Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland \u2014 and the \u201cWe\u2019ll Be Together\u201d singer is aware of the irony. \u201cI never left the Police,\u201d he said while speaking to the Times<\/em>. \u201cI\u2019m not sure what I did. I just made a record \u2014 as the others had done \u2014 and enjoyed it more than I did being in a band.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAnd here I am again,\u201d he continued of his return to form. \u201cMy whole modus is surprise. I don\u2019t want people to be entirely confident about what I\u2019m going to do next. That\u2019s the essence of music for me. And no one expected a trio at this point.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
