starring Sting & Shaggy, for the launch of a new special series as a
tribute to the brand’s 120th anniversary. Kahn also directed the

Fiat is the media sponsor. The campaign will launch in early-March, 2019.
In
2018, Sting & Shaggy released a collaborative, island-influenced album,
entitled 44/876, that draws from the many surprising connections at the heart of their music.
With its title referencing their home country codes, 44/876 first and foremost honors the duo’s mutual love for Jamaica:
Shaggy’s homeland, and the place where Sting penned such classics as The
Police’s “Every Breath You Take.” Their chart-topping release debuted at #1 in
Germany and Top 10 in the UK. It has spent over 20 weeks atop Billboard’s
Reggae Album chart in the US and earned Gold certifications in Poland and
France.
Last summer,
Sting and Shaggy took their collaboration to the road for the
critically-acclaimed 44/876 World Tour, performing their most celebrated hits
as well as songs off their GRAMMY-winning album, together. The duo will bring
their tour to the UK from May 19 - 25 for a series of intimate and exclusive
concerts, hailed “a reggae rock dance party that never
lets up”. For further information, please visit: www.sting.com.
