Fragile was released in 1987 on Sting’s album …Nothing Like the Sun. The song was inspired by the death of American aid worker Ben Linder, who was working on a hydroelectric project for the people in Nicaragua and was killed by Contra rebels during the civil war. This event deeply moved Sting and prompted him to write a song about the fragility of life and the senselessness of violence.
