  Former Police frontman Sting performed a medley of his new song and two classic Police hits during his appearance at the 2016 American Music Awards according to the Rolling Stone.

  After being introduced by actor Robert Downey Jr., Sting took the stage to perform his new single ‘I Can’t Stop Thinking About You’, off from his recently released 12th soolo LP, ’57th and 9th’. From there, Sting performed some of the Police’s classic hits, ‘Message In A Bottle’ and ‘Every Breathe You Take’.

  Aside from his notable performance, Sting was also awarded the Award of Merit, making him the first honoree of the decade and the first since Annie Lennox in 2008.

  Here are some clips of his performance:
