With the song “The empy chair” of 2016, Sting faces a very particular and painful aspect of our life at the time of the Coronavirus: the forced distance from the people we love, symbolically represented by an empty chair at our table. With the short video posted on facebook, the singer declares he misses our country, and his beloved home in Tuscany: “I know how much Italy has suffered and continues to suffer. I miss you all, as I miss my favorite country and my beautiful home in Tuscany. I am sure that in this terrible moment many of you are separated from those you love: this song is about the loved ones we miss, those who cannot go home and so you leave an empty chair at your table to remember it. ”
