}} ''The Last Ship'' is the eleventh studio album by English musician Sting, released on 20 September 2013 in Germany, and on 24 September 2013 in the UK and US. The album features guest artists with roots in the northeast of England, including Brian Johnson from AC/DC, Jimmy Nail, The Unthanks, The Wilson Family and Kathryn Tickell. The title is an allusion to the closure of the shipyards in the historic shipbuilding town of Wallsend, where Sting grew up. On 12 August 2013, audio samples of the songs from the album were published on YouTube by Cherrytree. ==Background== ''The Last Ship'' is the first full-length LP of original material released by Sting since his 2003 album ''Sacred Love''. The album is inspired by Sting's forthcoming play of the same name, which premiered in June 2014. The play explores the themes of homecoming and self-discovery, drawing upon Sting's memories of growing up in the shipbuilding town of Wallsend, along with his reflections on the complexity of relationships, the passage of time and the importance of family and community. The play contains a few songs that are not in the album,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sting's musical "The Last Ship" headed for Broadway this fall )〕 including "What Say You Meg?", written to replace "Practical Arrangement" in the theatrical production. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Last Ship (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
