The performers protect their modesty using feather boas, fans and jewel-encrusted underwear.Spokespeople for Sting, 55, and Bowie, 60, have confirmed their involvement in the burlesque club.The singers are not expected to manage the nightspot, but will act solely as investors.(C) BANG Media International
