HALIFAX, Nova Scotia — British rock star Sting surprised Christmas shoppers in downtown Halifax during an unexpected stop in the Nova Scotia capital. Sting, whose real name is Gordon Sumner,


made the rounds through a shopping mall after his girlfriend, Trudie Styler, was admitted to the Halifax Infirmary last week. A hospital spokesman would only say that Styler was admitted to


the gynecology ward. “As far as I know, there isn’t anything wrong with her,” said Jim Monaco, a publicity director for A&M; Records. “She just ended up going there out of routine.”


Styler and Sting, former lead singer of The Police, were flying from New York to London to go home for Christmas. A Halifax International Airport spokesman said a woman was taken from a


British Airways jet Thursday morning and rushed to the hospital. David Porter, the Atlantic region’s representative for A&M;, said Sting had to stop “in here for a few hours. I talked to


him and everything’s OK.” MORE TO READ
