by Sting
Fragile was written by Sting, for his 1987 album ...Nothing Like the Sun and released as a single in April 1988. Fragile is a gentle, Latin‑tinged ballad written and performed by English singer‑songwriter Sting, inspired as a tribute to American engineer Ben Linder, who was killed in 1987 while working on a hydroelectric project in Nicaragua. Although only a modest hit on the charts, the song has become one of Sting’s signature pieces, frequently performed in concert and later recorded in Spanish and Portuguese versions for the 1988 EP Nada como el sol.
