Geldof 'made up Sting tantric sex rumour'

Sting and Trudie Styler's daughter daughter Coco Sumner has revealed that her parents' so-called tantric sex fetish was just a rumour made up years ago by his musician friend Bob Geldof.

The former Police frontman and Styler have been rumoured to spend up to eight hours having sex.

Singer and model Sumner told the New York Daily News: "Bob Geldof made up this thing and it stuck - and it's an international joke. It's embarrassing when people bring it up."

Sting himself confirmed that Geldof was responsible for the lie, saying: "We were chatting and talking about having hours of sex. It then became really a joke which went around the world like a forest fire."
