Reggae artist Shaggy is set to appear alongside musician Sting in a West End production of the musical *The Last Ship*. The performances will take place next month at London’s Theatre Royal Drury Lane, where Shaggy will reprise his role as the Wallsend Ferryman for two shows.

Sting, who wrote the musical drawing inspiration from his upbringing in the northeast of England, expressed enthusiasm about Shaggy’s involvement. He described Shaggy as the ideal choice for the part, highlighting the artist’s lively and mischievous presence.

*The Last Ship* reflects themes connected to the shipbuilding industry of the region and features a cast that blends established performers with notable guest appearances. Shaggy’s participation is expected to bring a unique energy to the production during his limited engagement.
