Zagreb is all ready to welcome Sting who will wind up his 2009 tour on February 11 in the Croatian capital. Does that seem strange? It shouldn’t. Sting will be touring with Croatian lute player Edin Karamazov who is, brace yourselves, Sting’s lute teacher. Together the duo have been exploring the works of 16th-century English lute composer, John Dowland. Sting has promised to display his lute-playing skills during the course of the tour and in Zagreb.

The concert will be held at Zagreb’s Vatroslav Lisinki hall. Tickets will soon be available for online purchase.

The famed rapper’s concert in Zagreb took place on December 3 but the buzz lingers on. First there were his extravagant (OK, not by star standards) list of “requests” for the Hotel Antunovic  (as reported by Javno.com): Norwegian salmon, Russian caviar, 50-vitamin mineral water, soy milk in six flavors with only 1.8% fat. I’m thinking ‘What a healthy guy!’ And everything has to be recyclable. And so ecologically-correct! But then there’s the obligatory Dom Perignon and Hennessey. Uh-oh. Maybe,  just to please the entourage?

Alas. Mr. Cent was caught with his nose down. In a white powdery substance. The incriminating stance was captured by a local reporter who wandered into his dressing room right before the concert.  (You can watch it on YouTube)

Now here’s the question: which is more shocking? A rap star demanding 50-vitamin mineral water and an eco-friendly hotel room, or a rap star ingesting powdery substances right before a concert?
