HOW "PUM PUM" SHUT STING DOWN

In tune with tradition Sting unleashes a new comer to open the morning; raring up for the big guns, enter female Dancehall hopeful Starface; at 6:10 Mc Nuffy gives the young artist the million dollar intro as he gave Gully Bop the year before, Starface seem to have no fair in her eyes as she stood backstage ready for her first appearance on the greatest one night reggae show on earth, anyone who understands the Sting brand knows that to take the stage early in the morning the artist has to deliver big, like her predecessors Lady Saw, and Spice. Starface took the crowd with a Christmas remix called "PumPum” bringing the crowd to a roar, then drew for a classic in honor of the Queen Lady Saw called “If the man Lef”, but this time it wasn’t just the crowd screaming for more, as the Police rush to the stage urging the promoters to shut the event down because of the profanity, bring the show to an abort end make history, as Starface becomes the first female act to close the Mega show.

Road Show Ja reached out to Starface “Mr. officer I did not know Sting was a PG event the ticket said 18 and over so I have no clue how my little Pum Pum song shut the show down,  its Sting and the world was watching, I was ready to make my mark, all I know is I have a year to go before Sting 2016 and I will be back with a vengeance. I want to say thank you to Heavy D and Mr. Laing for supporting young talents. I don’t think there is another event in Jamaica where a young artist can leave the stage and get a booking backstage;. So tell the police they hurt the artists, the promoters, and the people by shutting down the show, but don't blame Starface, because you need an excuse”.

Is It time for laws to change, it takes millions of dollars to present major events like Reggae Sting is it fair to the promoters if city officials, can just shut an event down siting their own reasons, we are in a tough economy, and patrons may have saved up for months to enjoy the big event. We believe if this keeps happening eventually a promoter will sue a city for damages from lost revenues and commitments.
