Sting’s wife Trudie Styler put on a brave face to attend the Posso Entrare? An Ode to Naples premiere after party, as the singer was forced to cancel an upcoming awards show appearance due to ill health.
The music legend, 73, had pulled out of performing at the Bass Magazine Awards this Thursday, and has postponed shows in Phoenix, Arizona, and Wheatland, California, until later this month while he recovers.
Despite Sting’s health scare, Trudie was still in good spirits as she joined stars Hugh Grant and Benedict Cumberbatch for the party at Pizzeria Mozza in London to celebrate a screening of her documentary.
The actress, 71, who married Sting in 1992, cut a stylish figure in a sparkly black jumper and a silver mini skirt as she posed for snaps.
Benedict was joined by his wife Sophie Hunter, who showed off her chic sense of style in a sophisticated all-black look.
Hugh was also joined by his wife Anna Elisabet Eberstein, who opted for a simple white ruched shirt and a black buttoned mini skirt.

The music legend had pulled out of performing at the Bass Magazine Awards this Thursday , and has postponed two concerts due to ill health
Posso Entrare? An Ode to Naples was directed by Trudie and detailed herself and Sting’s passion for Italy, with the actress explaining her history with the country at the ceremony, during an interview with PEOPLE.
She said: ‘Sting and I fell in love with Italy many years ago — so much so that after one of our kids was born near Pisa, we spent years looking for a home for us all. Italy has always been incredibly kind to us.
‘Since the 1980s when I made films here in Rome at Cinecittà, then Sting wrote one of his most emotional albums near Pisa the year after his parents died, and at the same time I gave birth to one of our kids, Italy has a special place in our hearts for many reasons.’
Sting and Trudie are parents to four children, Mickey, 40, Jake, 39, Eliot, 33, and Giacomo, 28, while The Police frontman also shares son Joe, 47, and daughter Fuschia, 42, with ex Frances Tomelty.
A spokesperson for Sting confirmed in a social media post that he would be unable to attend the Bass Magazine Awards, and his two US concerts were being postponed.
Sting – whose real name is Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner – sent his apologies to those due to attend the concert and thanked them for being understanding in the unexpected circumstances.
A post on his Instagram page, read: ‘On advisement from his doctor, due to illness, it is with sincere regret that Sting must cancel his appearance at the Bass Magazine Awards this Thursday…

Fans of the British star took to the comments section of the post to wish him a speedy recovery following the announcement.
Sharing their messages, they wrote: ‘Wishing you a speedy recovery and lots of healing time with near and dear ones’; ‘Get well soon’; ‘Prayers of healing to you! AMEN!’; ‘Take care and get well’;
‘Stingooo get well soon. Sending you hugs!’; ‘Get well soon. Sending prayers’; ‘Rest well, Sting’; ‘Please get well soon Sting, much love’; ‘Get well soon maestro. Greetings from Chile! See you soon’;
‘Sending Sting love and healing’; ‘Get better sooooon!’; ‘Hopefully the LA Fire Aid show is still on. I’d love to hear No Doubt and Sting sing Message In A Bottle in 2025’.
Sting is next slated to perform on February 8 at the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana, according to his tour dates.
Despite the news that he has been forced to pull out of several appearances due to illness, Sting has always prided himself on his health and fitness.
The star has previously credited his amazing shape to his macrobiotic diet, which consists of a lot of vegetables and grains, and aims to avoid toxins and processed food that contain preservatives.
The diet also centres around low consumption of meat, dairy and sugar.
Sting and his wife Trudie Styler moved their family to the Lake House Farm in Wiltshire in 1991, and adopted a self-sufficient diet, growing organic veggies ever since.

The singer’s family own a flock of free range chickens, as well as their own trout lake and even bee hives for honey.
In her 1999 book, The Lake House Cookbook, Trudie wrote: ‘I decided that I would only be satisfied if I knew exactly what we were putting on our plates.’
She also revealed that the couple enjoy a conscious approach to eating, and believe that the way ‘we treat our own bodies is by extension the way we treat the planet.’
So devoted is the singer to his diet that he reportedly keeps his own personal chef on tour with him in order to keep it up while he is away from home.
This dedication to a healthy diet does not prevent the Message in a Bottle singer from indulging in a tipple or two and the occasional ice cream.
In 2003, he told The Guardian: ‘I drink alcohol. I don’t smoke anything legal. I drink coffee. I like chocolate and ice cream. But apart from that I’m really healthy.’
He is also well known for his love of yoga, which he has been doing for more than three decades.
He admitted in an interview with his yoga instructor when he was 43 that he came to yoga late in life, aged 38-39.
According to a transcript of the interview shared on White’s White Lotus retreat website, the singer revealed he tried other fitness regimes before trying yoga.
‘I have been through various fitness regimes before, you know. I used to run about five miles a day and I did aerobics for a while.
‘I always stayed fit because I’m a performer and all of those things help me to perform.

‘But it wasn’t until I met Danny Paradise, who became my mentor in Yoga, that I started the practice which I feel I will stay with for the rest of my life,’ he added.
When he hit 60, he told Energy Times: ‘I perform on stage in much the same way I did when I was in my 20s or teens, and I’m doing it just as efficiently.
‘Two decades of yoga has given me two extra decades of this career. I wouldn’t be able to do it if I was out of shape,’ he added.
The singer is s dedicated to the practice and he is known to do his yoga even when away on tour.
In 2021, while on Lorraine Kelly’s ITV show, he joked his good looks were due to ‘vanity, and a little bit of discipline,’ before adding, ‘I studied yoga for 30 years. But everything becomes yoga after a while.’
On top of yoga, the singer also revealed he ‘swims every day, I like to walk, and I sing.’
The same year, he shared the secret to his washboard midriff in a TikTok video where he demonstrated his ‘perpetual crunch.’
The Message In A Bottle hitmaker, 70, lay on his back tensing and stating ‘Getting my tummy nice and hard’ as he showed off his incredible fitness.
He urged his fans to take up the Sting perpetual crunch challenge, writing: ‘You can do it.’
Sting and his wife Trudie have been together since 1982, and the couple share the same penchant for healthy living.
