Veteran singer-songwriter Sting has purchased a new $9.75 million (GBP6.5 million) London home over looking the city's picturesque St James Park.

The FIELDS OF GOLD star snapped up the property after his film producer wife Trudie Styler reportedly "fell in love" with the house, which is near her production offices.

Sting, who has an estimated personal fortune of $300 million (GBP200 million), already own properties in the Highgate area of London, Wiltshire, England, Malibu, California, New York and Tuscany.
