Sting in Sydney

Ahead of the world reunion tour of The Police, Sting has hired a yacht to be his family's home while the tour is in Australia. Being one of Sydney Harbour's most expensive yachts might put a dent in Sting's wallet, but with The Police earning at least $150 million in ticket sales; the $13,200 per day rent for the yacht must seem like easy pickins for Sting and his family. And you gotta love Sting's look aboard his yacht: pink boardies, grey sweatshirt, a slight more that a five o'clock shadow - and what were he and wife Trudie Styler drinking? Well, wine of course!
