Sting | Rocco Ritchie – Madonna’s Son

Madonna and Sting possessed an enormous degree of popularity in the 1980s and 1990s, but musically speaking, they were worlds apart — or were they? A live performance by Sting impressed one of Madonna’s many hits. Surprisingly, music isn’t the only thing that binds Madonna and Sting together. During a party at Sting’s house, Madonna met film director Guy Ritchie. Not only did Sting play a cupid to the couple, but he also became a godfather to their son, Rocco.

Sting got his unique nickname from a striped sweater he wore in his early days, making him look like a bee. He is best recognized for his singing and songwriting career with the popular new rock wave band The Police. After nearly a decade of hit singles, the band disbanded in 1983, and Sting embarked on his own. Sting’s solo career was a success after delivering a wide range of music with songs like Englishman in New York and Fields of Gold.
