STING SAVED DAUGHTER'S LIFE

Rocker STING has told how he saved his daughter COCO's life after she collapsed in Los Angeles earlier this year (09).
The former Police frontman rushed to the 19 year old's bedside after she was admitted to an intensive care unit following a fall at a restaurant.
But when he arrived, the Message in a Bottle hitmaker found Coco was struggling with doctors and refusing treatment.
He says, "I was luckily also in L.A .and (my wife) Trudie (Styler) in London rang to say, 'You have to go to the hospital. Coco is alive but she is in trouble.' It was the longest drive of my life, I was just imagining the worst.
"I got there and Coco was fighting tooth and nail with medics and refusing to co-operate. The doctors said this was highly dangerous: 'Unless we know now whether or not she has a clot she may die. You have to convince her.'"
And the musician admits it took every ounce of his strength to convince his daughter to let the doctors help her.
He adds, "I had my little girl's head in my hands and I tried cajoling, begging, bullying. 'You will die. I am your daddy. I am telling you this,' I said. Eventually she agreed and she is now fine but my life flashed in front of me.
"I had assumed once your kids get to about 20 you don't have to worry, they live their own lives. No, it is a life sentence and the problems they bring are more and more complex and interesting. You never stop worrying about your kids. It is a wonderful responsibility to have."
