Gary Barlow, you really are spoiling us. For his latest Crooner Sesssions video, he performed with the one and only Sting, and it was perfect.

In Gary Barlow's Crooner Sessions duet performance, the Take That singer collaborated with The Police legend Sting, choosing a cover of Squeeze's 1981 classic 'Tempted'.

Gary wrote: "My guest on #TheCroonerSessions today is the amazing Sting. Can't thank you enough for doing this sir. It appears we have a mutual appreciation for Squeeze.

50-year-old Gary Barlow started his virtual Crooner Sessions duet series in 2020 during the first UK-wide lockdown.

Highlights of the year's collaborations included incredible performances with the likes of Robbie Williams, Cliff Richard and Brian May.

2021 saw Gary kick of his new series by duetting with the one and only Rod Stewart for a stunning rendition of the latter's hit 'Rhythm of My Heart'.

Last week, he unveiled a truly excellent version of 'Patience' with Boy George, with fans urging him to release a studio version.
