Sting, Cirque du Soleil to perform at NBA All-Star game

The NBA has picked Sting to perform during halftime at the All-Star Game in Toronto next month. Maybe “Every Breath You Take” can somehow get the crowd pumped up.

Sting will perform at the game on Sunday, Feb. 14 at Toronto’s air Canada Centre. The game tips off at 8 p.m.

Sting is the former frontman for The Police and has also had a successful solo career. His latest album is 2013’s The Last Ship, which was also turned into a Broadway show. This year, he will tour the U.S. and Canada with fellow British rocker Peter Gabriel on the Rock Paper Scissors tour. The tour kicks off in Columbus, Ohio on June 21.

The NBA has also picked Cirque du Soleil to perform before the game starts to add some Canadian flavor to the evening. (Cirque is based in Montreal.) At the end of the performance, the NBA All-Stars will be introduced.
