On this auspicious date, Sting was preparing for a documentary being filmed at his Tuscan villa. They had received word of terrorist acts in NYC and decided to go ahead with the concert that had been planned for the final night of filming. They dedicated the evening to the over 3,000 innocent victims who died that day.
The documentary is definitely worth a watch. It's quite poignant when they receive the news and all the emotions you experienced on 9/11 come flooding back.
I saw him in concert in December, a few months after 9/11. It was in Vegas at the Aladdin Hotel Concert Hall and he continued to pay tribute that night to the victims. He got quite a thunderous response when he added, "And fuck you, Bin Ladin!"
