A wholesome moment between Sting and grandson Akira was shared on Father's Day.
Akira Rogue Kantrowitz is the son of Sting and Trudie Styler's daughter, Mickey, and her ex-partner Chris Kantrowitz.
He was born on New Year's Eve in 2016 with "severe developmental problems", Mickey revealed in an essay on Romper in 2021.
