ACCORDING TO LOCALS, Sting was out on the lash last night in Cork – and we’ve got the picture to prove it.

The Tantric-loving crooner was spotted by several other punters enjoying a pint in Sin É on Coburg Street.

Sting also SANG in the pub last night – giving the People’s Republic a taste of what he’ll have in store for them in The Marquee tomorrow night.

Lisa O’Sullivan, a member of group The Ceili All Stars, was playing at the regular Sunday session when banjo player Eric Long spotted Sting. He was asked if he’d like to sing to a song, and Sting obliged.

Eye witness accounts report that the place “went mental.” We’re not surprised.
