The 65-year-old musician has said he often forgets that the two musical icons - who both tragically passed away this year - aren't immortal, dubbing their passing as a "huge loss to the world of music", reported Femalefirst.
"All of us suffer from the delusion that cultural icons like Prince and David Bowie are somehow immortal. There's a god-like quality about them," Sting said.
"They were extraordinary artists and a huge loss to the world of music."
And the "Shape of My Heart" hitmaker also reflected on his personal connection to both artists, saying he "greatly admires" Bowie - who died in January from liver cancer - and branding Prince, who suffered an accidental overdose of fentanyl in April, as "unique".
