The first time Gabriel and Sting toured together was in 1986 with Amnesty International in the U.S. and later the world in 1988. Since then, the two have been the best of friends.

"I had a successful tour with Paul Simon, who is someone else I admire greatly, and that worked so well I thought I'd like to do this again… who could I tour with? And then I thought of Peter because we've known each other for so long" – Sting

 

"What intrigues me is that when you get a good bunch of musicians together then interesting things will happen if they are allowed to"
– Peter Gabriel
