I need it to show that $\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^\infty \frac{\sin k}{k^3} = \frac{2\pi^2-3\pi+1}{12}$

Using the decomposition $$\frac{e^t\sin x}{1–2e^t\cos x+e^{2t}} =\frac{1}{2i}\left(\frac{1}{1-e^{t+ix}}-\frac{1}{1-e^{t-ix}}\right),$$ we obtain for $\Re(z)>1$ (using the Bose-Einstein integral) that \begin{align*} \frac{1}{\Gamma(z)}\int_0^\infty \frac{t^{z-1}e^t\sin x}{1–2e^t\cos x+e^{2t}}\,dt &=\frac{1}{2i}\left(\mathrm{Li}_z(e^{ix})-\mathrm{Li}_z(e^{-ix})\right)\\ &=\frac{1}{2i}\sum_{k=1}^\infty\frac{e^{ikx}-e^{-ikx}}{k^z}\\ &=\sum_{k=1}^\infty\frac{\sin(kx)}{k^z}.\end{align*}
