Sting gave a voicemail message recording to an audience member during his recent Tonight Show appearance.
Sting was appearing as a guest on Jimmy Fallon's late night show when he sang several falsetto scats of classic telephone ringtones, including "Xylophone" and "Marimba."
An audience member was then selected at random to receive a voicemail greeting recording from the singer, who sang his Police 1979 hit "Message in a Bottle" with new lyrics:
"Sorry I'm away / Looks like you missed me, yo! / You just leave your name when you hear the beep, oh! / I hope that you will leave a / I hope that you will leave a message on my voice mail, yeah."
Sting is currently promoting his new project, The Last Ship, which opens on Broadway on October 26.
It's not the first time that a musician guest has given an audience member a voicemail message on the show. In April, Aerosmith's Steven Tyler provided a personalized version of "I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing" for an audience member.
