Why Shaggy Is Hilariously Taking Credit for Collaborator Sting’s Youthful Appearance

“As you get older, inspiration is the hardest thing to find as you go along,” Shaggy explained. “We both inspire each other, and we both push each other into areas that make us a little uncomfortable to where we find something great.”

The 57-year-old added, “That's the thing that I really love about it, and we keep pushing each other in those places.”

And while the “Angel” singer has collaborated with Sting on multiple projects, including their Grammy-winning reggae album 44/876 in 2018, he previously detailed how in awe he is at sharing a special bond. 

“Sting is the brother I didn't know I needed,” he told Forbes in 2023. “He's brought so much to me within my confidence and I've always been a fan of his music. But to think that he was a fan of me and what I've done, really adds to me and what I do and my creativity.”

Shaggy added, “I think we both cherish it, and we're always excited to do something together.”
