Sting wants his children to earn their own money

"All my children are blessed with an exceptional work ethic, whether it's in their DNA or because I've told them, 'People, you have to work. I'm spending our money, I'm paying for your education. You have shoes on your feet. Go work,'" he explained.

World star Sting shared in a recent interview why his children will not live off his money, but will "find their own way."

The Police frontman recently appeared on CBS Sunday Morning, where he promoted his upcoming appearance in the musical "The Last Ship."

During the conversation, he also touched on the topic of family and said that he would not allow his children to live off his wealth.

"All of my children are blessed with an exceptional work ethic, whether it's in their DNA or because I've told them, 'People, you have to work. I'm spending our money, I'm paying for your education. You have shoes on your feet. Go work,'" he explained.

Sting added that he doesn't think it's "cruel", but rather shows "trust in them to find their own way."

"My children are strong. I think the worst thing you can do to a child is tell them, 'You don't have to work.' I think that's a form of abuse that I hope I'll never be guilty of," he said.
