Yeah, aging vocal cords. Age also demises the higher vocal range. He's had other issues through the years.
Doesn't have the range anymore to sing the old songs with the same voice.

Temporary Throat Infection: In January 2025, Sting had to postpone several concerts and a scheduled awards appearance due to a throat infection that prevented him from singing. He later updated fans saying he was "steadily improving"

Vocal Fatigue: Sting has spoken about the toll touring takes on his voice and mentioned that a "fatigued" vocal quality in one of his songs was a result of being in the middle of a tour and "barely able to speak"

Past Vocal Issues: He had previously canceled a concert with Shaggy in 2018 due to health reasons, mentioning at the time that he could "barely speak".

It's always surreal seeing females sing death metal. Like JINJER etc. Doesn't seem real. heh

LOL that's not his normal singing voice. He's singing in an Irish accent. Must be from whatever play or movie they are talking about.

This is his singing voice

Vera Lynn

Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn?
Remember how she said that we would meet again
Some sunny day?

Vera! Vera!
What has become of you?
Does anybody else in here feel the way I do?

[chuft]

Knew that was coming

[boredjedi]

I have a stack of 78s passed down through the generations
