Sting’s involvement in human rights began in September 1981, when Martin Lewis included him in the fourth Amnesty International gala, The Secret Policeman’s Other Ball following the example set at the 1979 show by Pete Townshend. A benefit show co-founded by Monty Python member John Cleese, Sting states, “before [the Ball] I did not know about Amnesty, I did not know about its work, I did not know about torture in the world.” Sting performed “Roxanne” and “Message in a Bottle” appearing on all four nights at the Theatre Royal in London. He also led other musicians (The Secret Police) including Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Phil Collins, Donovan, Bob Geldof and Midge Ure in the finale – Sting’s reggae-tinged arrangement of Bob Dylan’s “I Shall Be Released”. The event was the first time that Sting worked with Geldof. His association with Amnesty continued throughout the 1980s and beyond and he took part in Amnesty’s human rights concerts.
