Dancehall star Shaggy says working with Sting on The Last Ship has pushed him to grow by stepping outside his comfort zone.

The pair will perform the musical at the Metropolitan Opera, following successful international shows.

Shaggy credited Sting for believing in him and encouraging him to embrace the challenge of the production.

He also revealed his upcoming album Lottery reflects his mindset of taking risks and betting on himself creatively.

The musical, based on Sting’s childhood, tells the story of a struggling shipbuilding community facing closure.

Shaggy noted the production has already been a major success overseas, with strong ticket sales and sold-out shows.
