Rock legend Sting is adamant that his children should work—and not depend on his fortune.
The English musician told CBS Sunday Morning‘s Mark Phillips that taking away the need for hard work is “a form of abuse.” Phillips asked the 74-year-old rocker about his privilege and success and whether his six children are still “not going to get any of it.”
Sting, whose real name is Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner, laughed in response. “All of my kids have been blessed with this extraordinary work ethic, whether it’s the DNA of it or whether I’ve said to them, ‘Guys, you’ve got to work. I’m spending our money. I’m paying for your education. You’ve got shoes on your feet. Go to work,’” he said.
