Rock star Bryan Adams is excited about coming to Mumbai again. Here is an excerpt from an interview with the rocker by a local daily:

Q: You’re coming back to Mumbai after five years. What memories do you have of the last gig?

A: Actually, let’s talk about the first gig in Mumbai at the cricket stadium. They divided the pitch in half with huge posts.

One side of the pitch had the seats and the people from the city, on the other side of the fence were the members of the cricket club. It was so weird.

Then, someone ran on stage, grabbed the mike and yelled “I thought I’d died and gone to heaven”, then jumped off the stage into the crowd. It was a different kind of evening. (more…)

The Life of Bryan

* At 16, he quit school and convinced his mother to let him use the money she had saved for his college education to buy a baby grand piano.

* In 1976-77 he was the lead singer of the band Sweeney Todd. On the band’s recordings, his voice was speeded up so it didn’t sound so raspy.

* During the 1998 Winnipeg Arena concert, Adams made a point of commenting on the venue’s huge portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, saying he had never seen a picture of her smiling. Then, in 2002 Adams photographed the monarch on her Golden Jubilee and his photo, with the Queen smiling, was used on a Canadian postage stamp. (more…)

Remembering Bryan Adams has longtime fans in Heaven a few days before rock legend runs Back to You
By Cheryl Binning

ON a rainy August day in 1992, 29-year-old Tom Stumpf went to work as usual at his uncle’s limousine company. He was told his job that day was to pick up a big white van, go to the airport, and transport a band (his uncle wasn’t sure who they were) to Birds Hill Park for a concert.

Stumpf showed up at the appointed time and watched in awe as a blond guy wearing a white T-shirt, jeans and a light jacket approached.

“I couldn’t believe my eyes when Bryan Adams came walking out,” says Stumpf, who is now 42 and runs a Winnipeg transportation company.

“I love his music — I’m a big fan — so it was unbelievable.” (more…)

Step right up, folks. It’s time to see the sole Canadian musician capable of writing a tear-jerking chart-topper, flirting with royalty and saving the whales — all while sweatily thrashing around a stage like it’s the summer of ‘69.

Call him a man of many talents — we’ll just call him Bryan Adams.

Juggling a multitude of roles is all in a day’s work for the 46-year-old Vancouver-bred CanRock songster you’ve known and loved for decades. Want him to sing? He can sing. Want him to rock? He can rock. Want him to photograph the Queen for a postage stamp? He can do that, too.

We know it’s true — everything Adams does, he does for you. And because he’s a … (more…)

Bryan Adams in concert

TICKETS for Bryan Adams’ charity-fundraising Reach Out to Asia (ROTA) concert in Doha have gone on sale at music stores in Qatar. As part of his 2006 Room Service Tour, Adams and his band will perform live on February 1 at Al Sadd Stadium. The concert will include his all-time greatest hits, and songs off his latest CD, Anthology.

All proceeds from the concert will go to the Reach Out to Asia appeal fund, initiated by Shaikha Mayassa bint Hamad Al Thani, daughter of Qatar’s Amir. The Charity, founded with the cooperation of Qatar Foundation For Education, Science and Community Development, the Doha Asian Games Organising Committee (DAGOC) and Qatar Airways, aims to extend Qatar’s hand of friendship and help to many countries across the Asian continent, which are experiencing serious difficulties in terms of poverty, inadequate educational and healthcare facilities, homelessness, disease and natural disasters, such as the devastating 2004 tsunami and last year’s earthquake in Pakistan, Afghanistan and India.

By ROB WILLIAMS

One of the smartest moves Bryan Adams ever made was to write the song 18 Til I Die.

The “I’ll never grow up” anthem gives the 46-year-old Vancouver superstar carte blanche to continue cranking out the hits he wrote in his younger days without coming off as some desperate aging rocker trying to reclaim his glory years.

And Adams looked anything but desperate last night at the MTS Centre.

His biggest hits may be more than a decade behind him, but he still managed to draw 9,500 people to the arena, making the concert his largest local show ever, not counting his rainy 1992 gig at Birds Hill Park.

“That got cut short because the typhoon came in that night, so we’re making up for lost time with lots of music tonight,” he said. (more…)

Take a moment and count ‘em — Bryan Adams must have a hit for every year in his two-and-a-half decade career.

In fact, his recent greatest hits collection, Anthology, has more than 30 of them.

And probably the two biggest of all those enourmous hit songs came together, midway through Adams’s concert Thursday night at Credit Union Centre.

Even before the opening notes of Summer of ‘69, the crowd roared, as Adams gave away the title by insisting the upcoming tune had nothing to do with a certain period of time.

The crowd sang the first few lyrics and they were on their feet, cheering and no doubt remembering a time when they first heard that song, or danced to it, or hit the open road with that song blaring on the stereo. (more…)

Blue jeans, white T-shirt, sneakers, guitar, rock ‘n’ roll – that’s Bryan Adams. Even at 47, he still seems philosophically bound to 18 ‘Til I Die, one of his biggest hits.

He hasn’t changed much, sure, but in an era where aging artists like Madonna scrutinize trends amongst 18- to 35-year-olds and Rod Stewart tries to shape shift into a Vegas-like lounge lizard, Adams’s steadfast approach to rock ‘n’ roll is admirable.

Say what you will, the guy’s consistent.

With the rock scene now awash with terms like “emo” and “progressive,” Adams’s back catalogue is refreshingly uncomplicated and straightforward with hit tunes like Run to You, Can’t Stop This Thing We Started, Kids Wanna Rock and It’s Only Love (a duet with Tina Turner). (more…)

EDMONTON – Reviewing Bryan Adams presents a bit of a quandary if you have no desire to see the veteran rocker. Short of including Summer of ‘69 as a guilty pleasure, most of Adam’s rather limited selection of unctuous ballads and pro forma roots rockers do not inspire someone raised on slightly edgier music.

Let’s be honest — Adams at his best plays unaffected, no frills rock — sturdy car-radio fodder, all surfaces, glossy in spite of its calculated roughness. At his worst he reduces rock into tired cliches and banal gestures — Bruce Springsteen with the spine pulled out of him.

The Springsteen-lite analogy followed him from the early part of his career, but the part that must hurt the most is the charge of turning adult-oriented rock with the long run of ballads that sent him to the top of the charts and had him working with the likes of Celine Dion. (more…)

Now that was a rock show.
A no-bones-about-it heck of a rock show.
Thanks, Bryan Adams, for reminding us how it’s done.
Adams brought his show to a sold-out 6,000-plus audience at Red Deer’s Centrium on Saturday night and went way beyond awesome.
Anyone who has ever seen Adams perform knows he works his butt off and Saturday night was no exception.
But he does a lot more than just work hard, he connects with his audience.
Adams does that in a number of ways, though the main one was that he was his regular old unpretentious self.
Of course he wore his usual simple outfit of T-shirt and blue jeans. This time the shirt was black and the jeans were turned up at the cuff. (more…)

CALGARY – Six degrees of good.

There’s really no other way to describe the Bryan Adams concert experience.

Over the course of his 25-year solo career, and over the dozens of times he’s rolled through town, the Canadian arena rock icon always puts on a show that dabbles with the definition of good.
Good, kinda good, pretty good, very good, really good, exceptionally good and, every once in a while, incredibly good.

By his very generic nature, he can never be qualified an extreme, such as brilliant or bad, although his recorded output, especially of late, has often not only broached the latter, but skinny-dipped shamelessly and obliviously in its rank, fetid waters. (more…)

Bryan Adams still has what it takes.

Just ask the throngs of eager, CD-clutching fans that packed the Chinook Centre Music World location yesterday afternoon.

At first, it seemed like a typical Monday afternoon at the mall. So quiet, in fact, one wondered if they were in the right place.

Then I saw it. Fans spilling out the doors, holding their memorabilia tightly to their chests.

Every few minutes a cheer would go up from a different corner of Music World as the line, which snaked through the aisles, crept slowly forward. (more…)

US rocker Ryan Adams underwent therapy after his last tour because he couldn’t handle fans screaming Bryan Adams’ song titles from the audience. The singer/songwriter famously fought with one cheeky devotee who screamed the other Adams’ Summer Of ‘69 at him during one show and he decided it was time to confront issues he had with having a name similar to the Run To You hitmaker. He says, “I used to go onstage, and I couldn’t hear any of the clapping. I could only hear, ‘F**k you..!’ “I turned that into such a negative thing that it paralysed me. So now it’s not like someone’s not going to shout Summer Of ‘69, but I can choose to not let that ruin my evening.” But Adams still has disdain for his fans: “They’re a bunch of f**king c**ks. They come to my shows just to provoke me.”

It’s hard to hold back your emotions, be it his ‘Please forgive me’ or his seductive ‘Have you ever really loved a woman’, the nasty ‘Wanna be your underwear’ or those college memories flooding back with ‘Summer of 69’. Bryan Adams just can’t get enough of this country.

Adams loves to play and has found his best, most loyal audience in Europe.

Powter, who is psyched to be returning to Canada, toured as Adams’ opening act last summer in Europe.

As the opener, Powter did 35 minutes (“It’s the right amount of time when people don’t know you”) but recently completed a headlining tour of Ireland as his album became increasingly popular.

It was then that his appreciation of Adams grew even more.

“He sometimes will play three hours a night,” he says in wonder. “He did four of those nights in a row. I couldn’t do it.” (more…)

Minutes after the scheduled start time of 8:30pm, 46-years-young Bryan Adams stormed onto stage with his four bandmates to begin their second last concert on the Live Across the Nation Tour. They all appeared in typical Adams style, wearing black tees and jeans and were greeted by over 9000 screaming fans that packed Credit Union Centre on Thursday, January 5. Stage lights illuminated the lively audience as a blanket dropped down to reveal a backdrop of a two-storey tall white guitar imprinted with “Room Service”, the name of Adams’s first single off his latest album of the same name. The set then appropriately exploded with the Canadian rocker’s newest song. The crowd’s energy was mediocre at first, probably expecting Adams to start with a bigger hit, but fans quickly warmed up as Adams continued onto other songs such as “18 ‘Til I Die”, “Let’s Make A Night To Remember”, and “Can’t Stop This Thing We Started”.

Rock star Bryan Adams, set to tour India for the third time with concerts in Mumbai and Bangalore next month, says he is open to experimenting with Indian music.

Acknowledging India’s great tradition of music that has inspired a number of Western musicians including the Beatles and Madonna, Adams expressed his readiness to do something with the country’s music or musicians.

Asked if he had any immediate plan for such a venture, the Canadian rocker said: “Not yet. But I am very open to it.”

Adams, a vegetarian who supports several charities, had a high opinion of Indian audiences based on experiences during his previous tours of the country in 2001 and 2004. (more…)

How did you start Photography?
I fell into it.There were lots of things going on in the 90’s that required photos so I started taking photos when people I was working with weren’t available.As a result I did my own album covers while on video sets…then I published some photos in a Canadian fashion magazine that I had taken of Linda Evangelista. From there I did a book of photos of Canadian women to raise money and support for breast cancer. I’m working on another book at the moment for Calvin Klein.

Is there anything that you enjoy shooting the most?
People mostly. I started a magazine in Germany last year called Zoo, which has been my main focus.We are very small but then it’s an art magazine so what can one expect? (more…)

KARACHI: Almost every young person in Karachi laments one thing: we don’t host proper music concerts. Madonna will never come here to gyrate her hips at the National Stadium, Coldplay will not sign copies of their biography at Liberty Books and System of a Down would rather go Down Under than make a pit stop at the PACC.

This is precisely why the Bryan Adams concert on Jan 29 is such a big deal. “The only thing that sucks is that Shehzad Roy is going to open the show,” said an ungrateful A’Level student. Aside from that, it promises to be a memorable gig.

Bryan Adams may not be as big as Madonna or Coldplay but he is a respectable name in the business. I am fond of him because he is a crooner from my days at school and while not all high school students today are big fans, they are still pestering their parents to go. It is not every day that international rock stars come to Karachi. (more…)

He fills stadiums around the world, and soon Canadian rocker Bryan Adams will be back in South Africa on the final leg of his Room Service tour.
THE last time Bryan Adams performed in Jozi, he did it in style by welcoming in the New Near. For obvious reasons he can’t do the same when he returns in March, but at least he will still do it in style.

The Canadian pop rock legend is noted the world over for being one of the best live acts around. And he will perform the final leg of his Room Service tour at the Coca-Cola Dome in Northgate on 12 March.

An academic education was not his priority, and Bryan quit school at 16. Much to his parents’ dismay, he joined the rock band Shock, later moving on to the semi successful band Sweeny Todd. (more…)

KARACHI, Pakistan — Pop star Bryan Adams is rocking for relief in Pakistan, taking the stage Sunday night to raise money for victims of the South Asian earthquake that killed 87,000 and left millions homeless.

The concert was billed as the first by a major western pop musician in Pakistan since the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks in the United States.

Adams, best known for hits like Summer of ‘69 and Cuts Like a Knife, arrived in Pakistan’s biggest city just days after the U.S. State Department issued a travel advisory for the country, citing concerns about terrorism. (more…)

KARACHI: The ‘violently’ anti-violence Bryan Adams is one of the first really big names to make it to Karachi in a long, long time. The Canadian rocker, who hit it big in the 1980s with chart topping pop numbers such as ‘Summer of ‘69′ and ‘Run to You’ has continued to win fans across the globe. He has also made a name for himself as a photographer and philanthropist. His mischievous portrait of HRH Queen Elizabeth II is now used on a Canadian stamp and his book of photographs of Canadian women with breast cancer ‘Made in Canada’ (1999) helped raise funds for the cause.

Daily Times managed to get a short interview with Adams after his press conference with Shahzad Roy, who he was scheduled to perform with on Sunday night to benefit earthquake survivor children. (more…)

“I am here because this city has a special love for music,” the singer greeted his fans at the Arabian Sea Club on the outskirts of Karachi, as hundreds of Pakistani police guarded roads and checked vehicles leading to the venue.

The Canadian rocker said before the show that he was excited to help the victims of the earthquake in northern Pakistan. (more…)

Says rockstar Bryan Adams, as he chats with Deepali Dhingra about music matters and more

BT : The current style of rock is all about ‘nu’ metal. What do you think of new-age rock?

BA : It has always been around in some form. Rock never dies, it just gets louder.

BT : Your style of singing has changed over the years from a more personal one to more trendy. Are you trying to woo a younger or a newer audience by doing that?

BA : I do what feels natural to me at that moment in time, nothing is planned.

BT : In your new album Anthology, you have teamed up with fellow Canadian Pamela Anderson for ‘When you’re gone’. How Different was it from singing the same song with Melanie C? Also, how was the experience of working with her?

BA : It was only released in the States for Anthology. The version featuring Melanie C was never released in the States. Pam’s contributions are like any singer, every one has their own qualities. (more…)

Canadian pop star Bryan Adams is performing in Pakistan’s port city of Karachi to raise money for survivors of last October’s earthquake.

It is the first concert by a Western pop star in the country since the 11 September terror attacks in the US.

The authorities hope it signifies a “healthy cultural change” in the city, which has seen several bombings and terror attacks in recent years.

Some 20,000 tickets have been sold for Sunday’s concert, despite steep prices.

‘Cultural change’

Singer of hit songs, like Summer of ‘69, Adams said he was excited to be the first Western artist to perform a big concert in the country in four years.

New Delhi: Give it to me straight from the heart. Tell me we can make one more start – that’s the message Bryan Adams had for the quake victims of Pakistan.

Last night he was performing at Karachi’s Arabian Sea Country Club where he left thousands of fans shouting for more.

It was indeed a night to remember as Pakistan danced to the beats of their favorite rock star.

From Summer of ‘69 to Please Forgive Me, the show had it all.

The concert was held to generate funds for earthquake affected students and rebuild schools . Adams himself was as excited as his fans if not more.

“This concert is special for many reasons, firstly, I am the first one to perform in Pakistan and secondly because it;s for a good cause,” he said.

Over twenty thousand fans packed into the Arabian Sea country club on the outskirts of Karachi for the concert. And Adams really made it a night to remember for them.

Tonight Karachi was a witness to the First ever international rock concert with the arrival of Bryan Adams to the Arabian Country Club, a location on the outskirts of Karachi. The city was abuzz with the upcoming concert for quite sometime, the only concerns were regarding the steep ticket price and security.

The organizers Zindagi Trust an non-profit NGO lead by a local pop icon Shahzad Roy pulled the trick out of the hat. Security was iron clad tight and only were you permitted into the venue after you had been thoroughly screened, with a number of screening locations one barely had to wait a brief 3 minutes before finally entering the massive venue.

The show started as promised around 7:30 and Bryan Adams came a brief half hour later and the massive 13,000 strong crowd got into high gear. Bryan Adams rocked the house with his truly inspirational vocals keeping the massive crowd captivated to every beat, the crowd Karaoke every song along with Mr. Adams and a few hours later was greeted with a fascinating display of fireworks to bid farewell.

Concerts are held around the world but for a concert of this magnitude for the first time ever in Pakistan, everyone held his breath as even a minor hiccup would send us back into the stone-age. This concert will the setting stage for more to come, and if organizations like Zindagi Trust remain at the helm of affairs sparing no expense to set an example for the next to follow, we wont be disappointed.

For tonight, Karachi Rocked in unison — Love you Karachi

The Canadian rocker Bryan Adams had a concert in Karachi, Pakistan on Sunday.

“I am here because this city has a special love for music”, Bryan greeted the fans.

It was the first big show by a Western singer in Pakistan in decades.
Bryan was glad to discover new fans in Pakistan however Islamists oppose Western influences, especially rock music.

Bryan Adams also helped the victims of the earthquake in northern Pakistan. “We are going to raise a lot of money hopefully to help rebuild some schools in the areas that have been devastated”, said Adams.

On Monday, he will meet President Pervez Musharraf and Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz in Islamabad.

Rock star Bryan Adams is scheduled to perform in Mumbai on February 4 and in Bangalore on February 5, after his tour of Pakistan – the first to the country by any major pop star.

In an exclusive interview to HindustanTimes.com on e-mail, Bryan Adams tells Yojana Sharma about his love for India, his future plans, his freaky memories and his love for vegetarianism.

This will be your third visit to India. Surely, you’re not an alien to the Indian culture and hospitality. What particularly mesmerises you about the country?
Indian people love music, so that is the first thing. There is a great energy in the country. I used to dream about going to India as a boy and now that I can come there to sing and play music, it’s incredible.

If given a choice, what all places would you like to visit in India?

I would like to go to Calcutta. We’ve been trying to arrange a concert there for some time and we haven’t been granted a permit to do so. Perhaps you could tell them I send my best wishes and hope that they will permit this one day.

— Bryan Adams didn’t know he had a following in Pakistan until his debut performance at Karachi’s Arabian Sea Country Club pulled in more than 10,000 fans. Most had travelled 40 kilometres from Karachi to witness, on Sunday, Pakistan’s first international celebrity music concert in recent history.

The benefit concert was a fundraiser for schools in Pakistan’s earthquake-affected regions. But to most Pakistanis, it symbolized an openness for which the country’s more secular elite has hungered.

Halfway through, Adams called out for someone in the audience to join him in singing the hit single, When You’re Gone. From the hundreds of excited fans who threw up their hands, for a chance to share the mike with the singer, whose popularity penetrates the middle and upper middle class segments of Pakistani youth. Adams chose Atika, a bubbly high-school teenager, and when the song was done, he hugged her tight and lifted her. In any other venue, the scene would have been ordinary. But in Pakistan, a country that has been in the news primarily for its connection to growing Islamist extremism, the moment seemed extraordinary.

Part of the magic on Sunday night was Adams’s music selection. Adams sang only two songs from his latest album; otherwise, he sang the songs his audience knew best — hits such as Summer of ‘69, Run to You and (Everything I Do) I Do It for You. Lit-up mobile phones and burning lighters swayed to the tune as excited concertgoers sang along. “Music has brought us together,” said Adams to a roaring crowd at the show’s end.

Actress Lindsay Lohan was treated for a laceration to her leg on Friday after a breakfast mishap at the home of rock star Bryan Adams.

According to Lindsay’s mother, the star of the movie “Mean Girls” and some friends were preparing breakfast at the home when the mishap occurred. Lindsay was reportedly walking up some stairs and dropped a tea cup when she slipped on the steps.

A shard from the broken tea cup left a gash in her leg requiring ten stitches to close. It was the second visit to a hospital this month for the actress. On January 2, she was treated for an asthma attack in Miami.

Bryan Adams’s Third Time Lucky this Saturday eagerly awaited by city youth and die-hard fans…
The countdown has begun. It’s only two days to go before Bryan Adams casts his magic over the city for the third time. Scheduled to arrive in India tomorrow, Bryan Adams is slated to perform in the city on Saturday with the following day earmarked for Bangalore for his ‘Third Time Lucky Tour’.
Though Bryan Adams seems to be having his faithful fan followers, his popularity doesn’t seem to be what it was a decade ago. This time around Adams will be performing numbers from his new album ‘Anthology’ that includes a collection of his past hits like `Everything I do’, `Please forgive me’, `Summer of 69’ and `Here I am’ among others. Currently, the albums are doing extremely well.
Tickets are available at all Planet M outlets, select Reliance Web World and Web Express Outlets. Tele booking and home delivery of tickets is also available through 26493665. Samrat, in-charge at Planet M’s help desk said, “The sales for the concert are extremely high. Everyday we have mostly youngsters coming in to buy the tickets. They will all be sold out till the day of the show.”
We went around asking Mumbaikars if they were going to watch the maestro of lilting melodies in concert this weekend. And here’s what they had to say…

Atmanya Jhaveri, Student
I’m thinking of attending the concert as I’m a big fan and I really want to see him perform live. I think he’s much bigger than MLTR; this concert will definitely be crowded. I like most of his songs. (more…)

MUMBAI: International rock star Bryan Adams, who is on his third tour to the country, is all set to enthral Mumbaikars on Saturday.

Addressing a press conference on Friday, Adams said he was looking forward to performing in India because “the enthusiasm of the fans is amazing. Also the facilities and the infrastructure have vastly improved from the first time I was here, so setting up a concert is not as difficult.”

Adams will also be performing in Bangalore on Sunday. The concert will see some of his old favourites including “So Far So Good”, “18 till I die”, “Summer of 69″ and “Everything I Do”, as well as a couple of new songs from his latest album “Anthology”.

“I love coming back to India because the crowd response is amazing. In any country I perform I always see a small contingent of Indian fans and they stand out because of the enthusiasm,” he said.

Adams, who has 10 Grammy awards and 12 platinum hit to his credit so far said the secret of his longevity on the international music scene was “playing your own songs in the car so you can hear what they really sound like.”

Bryan Adams likes us.
While rockers around the world are just waking up to India as a regular concert venue, the Canadian singer keeps dropping by.
This is his third India tour, and Adams touched base with the Mumbai press today.
The Mumbai concert is at the MMRDA grounds on February 4 at 6 pm. He will also be performing in Bangalore on Sunday.
If you don’t catch him this time around, you’re no fan.

The show was a smashing success. Twenty thousand people turned up to hear Bryan Adams in Bombay on Sunday evening, exceeding by one account the crowd that turned up to see Michael Jackson in December 1997. (more…)

This is his third trip. The last was in Dec ‘94. But the heat of the summer of 2001 was not really getting to Bryan Adams as he walked in calmly to address a press conference.

Dressed in a olive green T-shirt with a Tulsi mala around his neck and vermillion tikka, the rocker looked anything but one.

Talking about his experiences in India, Adams said, “The one memory that I will always cherish in India is walking into a room only to find Jimmy Paige and Led Zeppelin seated there. I can’t forget that encounter which happened on my last trip.”

“But on the whole, India is an experience at every turn. It’s quite special, considering I have been here three times. Though I don’t understand the politics in the country, because we wanted to perform in Calcutta and Delhi, and I was told that we couldn’t, which is quite sad. But maybe another time!” (more…)

Pop icon Byran Adams, who is on his third visit to the country for a live concert, has said he is eager to work with Indian artistes.

Addressing mediapersons here on the eve of his concert at MMRDA grounds here Saturday, Adams said, of all the Indian artistes, he knew only sitarist Anoushka Shankar and her legendary father Pandit Ravi Shankar.

”No Indian artiste has ever asked for a collobaration. Perhaps, I could think of it,” the singer said.
”India has always been my desire and I am honoured to be back,” he said adding that whichever part of the world he has performed, he saw Indian fans cheering him.

”I can recognise them by their enthusiasm. This explains why I like to keep coming to this country,” he said.

Expressing his happiness to be back in India, Bryan said, Mumbai has changed quite a lot. His last show in Mumbai was about five years ago. ”It is remarkable to see how the city has changed. (more…)

Chef Jitendra prepared an purely organic Indian vegetarian meal for the Canadian singing star

Bryan Adams may have had a hectic schedule with his show in Mumbai city last night, but before that he had a date with Chef Jitendra, executive chef of the Taj Lands End Hotel at 8.30 p.m. A special meal was created for Adams and the chef is going all out to put up a phenomenal show.

We spoke to Chef Jitendra as he and a battery of chefs were preparing to lay out a lavish spread. He said, “I am excited and eager to do it. We have been planning for Bryan Adams visit for a while. Luckily, I had time to play around and present a spread fit for the man.” “The catering is Indian vegetarian,” informs the chef, “as I know that is his preference. He has left the creation of the menu to us.” Creating dishes that are unheard of, he has the task of keeping it within the guidelines of — vegetarian, Indian and maintaining the spice levels. Tricky it may sound, but the balancing act is in control. (more…)

He must be one of his country’s best exports since Canada Dry. Certainly, Bryan Adams has probably the sexiest voice on the planet.

And I love the fact that unlike cheese, the older he gets, the better he looks – and sounds.

With more than 50 million record sales worldwide, this extraordinary musician – who’s coming to South Africa in March, Durbs March 11 – has notched up almost a dozen albums and at least two dozen hit singles as well.

From his first major hit, Straight From The Heart in 1983, to his collaborations with people like Tina Turner, Sting, Rod Stewart and even Luciano Pavarotti, Adams has also lent his voice to numerous national and international charitable causes, starting from the very first Live Aid concert in 1985 (more…)

Bryan Adams rocked Mumbai on Saturday night.
The Canadian singer hit the right note with the crowd during the three-hour show of the Third Time Lucky tour.
The serpentine queues outside the Bandra Kurla complex in Mumbai were the first indication of what one would expect from a Bryan Adams concert. And if you thought the Canadian rock-star’s popularity had faded, you couldn’t have been more wrong.
From eight to eighty, the rockstar took them all back to the Summer of ‘69 in February of ‘06.

The Superfuzz band from Delhi, winners of Campus Rock Idols 2005 opened for Bryan Adams, but that was not enough to pacify the screaming crowds.Performing along with a band, Bryan Adams enthralled crowds with non-stop classic hits from his new album, the career-spanning collection Anthology.

MUMBAI, India (AP) – Bryan Adams is writing a new album, but of the 30 songs he’s already come up with, he loves just three.

“There’s a saying: ‘It’s easy to write songs, but very difficult to write great songs.’ I’m going through that right now,” Adams told reporters Friday while on his fourth tour to India.

Adams spoke of the discipline and objectivity that songwriters must have.

“It’s a really difficult process,” he said. “You have to be methodical and focused.”

The Canadian rocker recalled the rough, early days when as a struggling 18-year-old he signed a contract with a record company for just $1.

“I didn’t have a manager, I didn’t have a band, I was just a songwriter,” Adams said. “But I needed to get my foot in the door, so I took the dollar.” (more…)

BANGALORE: Two hours, 10 minutes and 25 songs later, Bryan Adams summed up his Third Time Lucky India concert at the Palace Grounds on Sunday: “This is by far the best response I have received in my concerts in Bangalore. It is an absolutely fantastic reception. I just don’t know what to say. This is not the last time I’m coming back here.”

Adams is growing older at 47 and is singing numbers that are not entirely new but that’s doing nothing to his immense popularity among college students who still listen to him and among the little-more-than younger who love to not only listen, but to see him, for sentimental reasons.

Adams does straightforward and uncluttered — even if clichéd — pop-rock and yet connects well. He may not be a Tull, Floyd or Straits, yet Adams is an intense and energetic performer and a great entertainer, doing what he knows best – simple music from the heart. (more…)

As the strains of the evergreen number Everything I do, I do it for you rent the air, rock star Bryan Adams was doing everything he could for his cheering fans– right from strumming the strings of the guitar and playing karaoke to singing a duet with a female fan at the grand musical concert here last last night.The Sunday night fever was apparently on as the 40 plus singer took music lovers down memory lane by belting out popular numbers from his repertoire, including Kids Wanna Rock, All for Love and Hearts on Fire. 

As fans cheered on, Adams rendered nearly 20 songs from his career spanning over two decades, including those from his new numbers, Room Service and Open Road. The numbers Back to You, Cuts Like a Knife, “I am ready” and the unforgettable Please Forgive Me met with loud applause.

His duet with Shwetha, a software engineer picked from the audience, was cheered loudly, as the two sang into the night the popular number When You are Gone.  (more…)

For fans of rocker Bryan Adams in Mumbai, the month of February couldn’t have come soon enough. We had begun counting down the days a long time ago, playing back old albums in anticipation of his third performance in the city. When he did arrive on February 4 at Bandra’s MMRDA grounds, we realised it was all worth the wait.
Outside the venue, thousands had lined up to create incredibly longest queues. It took people around 2 hours just to get in. The show began at around 7 pm, but people were still being admitted until after 7:30 pm.

It began with performances by winners of the Campus Rock Idols contest. Some in the audience cheered, others jeered, hoping Bryan would come soon. They had to wait some more though, as countless advertisements by sponsors followed. (more…)

IF the advertisements were to be believed, you could be third time lucky. Rock idol BRYAN ADAMS’ third visit to this country was as much hyped as his earlier ones. And Adams, an old hand at such gigs, made sure he pulled out all the stops, to keep the crowds swooning and asking for more.

Adams’ Indian connection goes back many years. This time too he acknowledged, “Indian fans were easily spotted even in a crowd of western faces”. He said that he felt “Indians were more discerning of the music he played since they came from a country of great musical traditions.”

At the same time Adams expressed a desire to collaborate with Indian musicians — Ravi Shankar and Anoushka Shankar being the first names he could think of. Questioned about his creativity, Adams replied in the characteristic low-key manner that he has come to be associated with, “I am just a lowly song writer and I think the greatest test of songs is when you play them in your car. If they stand they probably hold good.” Given his talent with 10 Grammy’s in his pocket even today Adams is certainly not `wastin time’.

Tickets are selling fast for Canadian rocker Bryan Adams´ visit to Pearse Stadium to be held as part of the Tribe Vibe music festival over the June Bank holiday weekend this summer.

The tickets went on sale last Saturday, 18 February, at 9am from Redlight records, from the 24 hour booking line at (091) 507445 and online at www.ticketlord.com, at a cost of €49.95 for standing tickets and €52.50 for seated tickets.

The concert will bring the curtain down on the planned festival, which takes place over the June Bank holiday weekend with a number of live acts performing at Galway´s main music venues.

Adams´career at the top has spanned over two decades, selling over 50 million records, while the 46-year-old Canadian rocker has penned a string of number one hits along the way.

(Everything I do) I Do It For You, which was the theme song from the film ‘Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves’ still holds the record for the longest running number one single in the UK charts at 16 weeks, while other hit singles include “Summer Of ´69″, “Run To You”, “Cloud Number Nine” and ‘All for Love’, recorded with Rod Stewart and Sting.

The concert hopes to attract over 30,000 punters to Galway´s premier GAA stadium, which should go some way to paying off the remaining debt, thought to be over €2 million after 2002`s Pearse Stadium redevelopment project.

Bryan Adams wows the Cape Town crowd at Kirstenbosch Gardens.

Cape Town – There cannot be a lot of better ways to kick off the week than to spend a balmy summer’s evening at Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens listening to legendary rocker Bryan Adams belting out his hit songs.

It was the Canadian superstar’s fifth visit to South Africa, and even he acknowledged on stage that it was a perfect evening.

Surrounded by Table Mountain, the city lights and stars overhead; the venue could not have been better picked. The grassy slope in front of the stage was packed with thousands of people who had brought their blankets and picnic baskets.

Exactly at 20:00, the rocker appeared on stage with a professional show that was both vibey and easygoing and complemented the superb setting.

A large part of the crowd appeared to consist of teens who would not even have been born when Adams was made famous in the 80s with the hit album Reckless. Yet they appreciatively screamed in excitement as he sang hits like Summer of 69 and Heaven from it.  (more…)

The excitement, I know, is mounting. Why? What other reason do you need than that legendary Canadian rocker Bryan Adams will be performing at the Westridge Park Tennis Stadium on Saturday evening.

Boy, oh boy, what a delicious treat! Now, I’m sure you, like me, love this mega star’s songs, everything from Straight From The Heart, Summer of 69, Everything I Do I Do it For You, Can’t Stop This Thing We Started to Please Forgive Me and The Only Thing That Looks Good On Me Is You.

Born on Guy Fawkes Day on November 5, 1959, Adams, who sold more than 50 million albums worldwide, has received international acclaim: 24 Juno nominations (won 16), 13 Grammy nominations (won three), three Academy Award nominations (won two), and scores more.  (more…)

Canadian pop superstar Bryan Adams is currently in South Africa, performing in Durban on Saturday and Johannesburg on Sunday after ending his third Cape Town show tonight.

This also happens to be his third concert tour of our shores. The last time he was here, fans were treated to a meet and greet when he emerged sporting designer stubble, a long-sleeved white top and a pair of white jeans. He joked, signed autographs and then sidled off.

We all wondered what he was going to don for the big concert. And on he came – in a long-sleeved white shirt and jeans.

Adams is not into sartorial elegance. Clothes don’t maketh this man. Instead, he likes to get on stage, sing his heart out and, sometimes, rush off stage and run round the back – as he did at one of his Durban concerts. The result was that those skulking in the cheap seats suddenly found themselves face to face with the man. (more…)

It’s one of those last-gasp-of-summer sweltering evenings in Cape Town. Lying here on the lawn, and I’m finding it hard to believe, I’m at a Bryan Adams concert.

As a rock mate remarked earlier, “even if they sent a limousine filled with topless supermodels to fetch me, I would never go to a Bryan Adams concert”!

Anyway, I’m here and today’s rock arena is the rather staid (but mind-numbingly pretty) Kirstenbosch gardens and those who have come to rock are a sandalled bunch of middle-age, white suburbanites, parents, house-wives, young couples, bemused tourists, a wine farmer from Paarl and your high school art teacher.

Me, I was simply here to be impressed.

I’ve so far managed to ignore the fact that, with a two-decade career under his belt, raspy-voiced Canadian singer/ songwriter and guitarist Bryan Adams remains one of the most successful recording artists in popular music worldwide, even by today’s standards.

The excitement pre-Adams in the ‘Bosch is tangible as all around me hardcore BA fans quaff wine and cheese crackers. (more…)

Rocker Bryan Adams, who was scheduled to perform at the Dixon May Fair, has canceled his appearance, fair officials said Friday.

“We got notification today that Bryan Adams has got a schedule conflict and will not be playing any of his West Coast dates,” said fair manager Mike Green.

Green said fair officials were working as quickly as possible to see whether they can do a show at this point, and whether they can find another major artist to perform. Country star and American Idol winner Carrie Underwood is still scheduled to perform on Friday night, May 12. (more…)

Canadian pop-rock singer Bryan Adams is returning to his home country for a series of dates before heading to the US for a brief jaunt.The trip features a two-night stand in St. John’s, Newfoundland, as well as single evenings in four other Canadian towns. The scattered US schedule include dates in Memphis, Kansas City, MO, and Denver, and wraps up with two evenings in Las Vegas.

The roadwork supports Adams’ recently released hits collection, “Anthology,” which arrived in stores last October. The two-CD set houses 33 previously released numbers, as well as three new recordings: “18 ‘Til I Die” and “So Far So Good.” He re-recorded “When You’re Gone,” originally a duet with ex-Spice Girl Mel C., with fellow Canadian Pamela Anderson, making her singing debut. In October, Adams and actress Anderson shot a video for the song in Hollywood.

Adams’ most recent collection of all-new material, “Room Service,” surfaced in May 2005. The set features the cut “Why Do You Have to be So Hard to Love.” (more…)

Bryan Adams has lined up a batch of new tour dates, beginning with a few gigs in his native Canada later this week. He’ll also play shows in May, including stops in Las Vegas, Denver, Colorado and Memphis, Tennessee. Adams told us that he likes doing just a few performances a month: “My schedule — sort of today — after all the work I’ve done is still pretty busy. We go out 10 days a month on tour. I’m basically somewhere. You can always see me somewhere in the world some month if you got a plane ticket. The way I like to work now is like basically 10 days a month. And you know that suits me because it’s enough time on tour to make it fun and interesting, and it’s enough time at home that I want to get back on the road again.” (more…)

Manager Bruce Allen would prefer that his long-time client Bryan Adams not be interviewed for his own Canadian Music Hall of Fame tribute piece — understandably, of course.

It would be kind of pompous for the Canadian singer, guitarist and songwriter to talk about why he is so deserving of the honour, and Adams is a humble sort.

Instead, Allen and Adams’ long-time guitarist Keith Scott share insight into the man to be inducted this weekend (April 2) at the Juno Awards ceremony in Halifax. (more…)

Bryan Adams, who has been belting out Canadian rock for more than 25 years, was this year’s inductee into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame.

Reading off a list of Adams’ contributions, Coldplay’s Chris Martin, who was among the night’s performers, declared Adams “a national treasure for you and for the whole world really.”

“I love him very much and he just hugged me backstage, which was, to be honest, arousing,” Martin joked, before launching into a four-minute video tribute to the Canadian rock icon. (more…)

Bryan Adams: I think I have about 40 models.

MAX: Which is the most valuable?
BA: A cherry-red Fender Stratocaster, which I bought in
St. Louis in 1983. Since then, I´ve played it on every
album. You can hear its sound clearly on my song
(Everything I do)I do it for you.

MAX: Do you use guitars  which have been used? From popular musicians for example?
BA: I have a lot of used guitars, but not from popular

Blonde bombshell Pamela Anderson is planning to team up with her fellow Canadian native Bryan Adams at his major open-air concert in Ireland this summer. The former Baywatch beauty is expected to perform with the singer as he rocks Galway’s Pearse Stadium in June. Pamela revealed her singing skills when she added her vocals to Bryan’s latest album – performing with him on the Mel C duet, Baby When You’re Gone, for the 25-year anthology of his hits which was released last year.

Now Bryan has invited the stunner, who is dating Irish race ace Eddie Irvine, to join him on stage when he stars at Galway’s Tribe Vibe music festival on June 4th. A spokesperson for the event said: “He heard Pamela was planning to come to Ireland with Eddie this summer – so he rang her and asked her to come to Galway with him. They’re both from Canada and are old pals and she said she’d love to go to his gig. I dont know whether he’ll get her on stage with him but he’s going to try.” (more…)

“I love good songs anyone sang that had great melodies and great lyrics,” says Buble, 30. The Vancouver crooner was quoted as saying: “There is no audience like an American audience. You have a wonderful energy, and you’re not shy.” 

Buble just finished a show in Las Vegas where Bryan Adams is headed as well for two shows May 10th, and 11th, after shows in Memphis, TN May 5th, Kansas City, MO May 6th, and Denver, CO May 7th.

 In an early morning interview from New York City, Adams chatted about his upcoming show at the Fillmore Auditorium on Sunday.

News: You have just a few U.S. dates? it’s like a mini-tour.

Adams: ‘It was going to be longer, but I decided not to do a longer one. I like to go out a week a month and do shows and then go home. I remember when I told my manager that’s how I want to work about six years ago. He just laughed and said, ‘You’ll never do it. No one will stick with you. Your road crew will leave you. Your band will leave you. You’ll do sets by yourself with an acoustic guitar.’ Nobody left – everyone does it.’

News: You’ve recorded with both Sting and Pamela Anderson. Compare and contrast their styles in the studio.

Adams: ‘It’s kinda different (laughs). I don’t know if he’d really appreciate that all that much. With Sting, he was the first person I called when I wanted to do that song All For Love and wanted to do a trio of singers. With Pamela, it was more of a novelty. I wasn’t working with Pam because of her singing attributes.’ (more…)

By Jeb Wright

Bryan has often been perceived as the ‘nice guy who lives next door’ type but the meaning to the song “Summer of ‘69″, and the new duet with blond bombshell Pam Anderson, should go a long way in tarnishing his nice guy image. Before we know it, Bryan may change his attitude and became a manic, flying around backstage in a golf cart running over music journalists without feeling so much as a twinge of guilt.

Read on – it will all make sense by the end of the interview!  (more…)

Bidding has ended. The winning bid: £7,100.00

The NSPCC is doing a set of ‘dream auctions’ to help less fortunate children in the UK. People like David Beckham and Sting have donated…and so has Bryan. The winning bidder will get to sing onstage with Bryan at a UK June/July show of their choice from the following: The possible dates are: 1st June – Huddersfield; 2nd June-Bridgend, Wales; 4th June- Galway, Ireland; 6th June-Newcastle; 8th June- Swindon; 20th July – Blickling Hall- Norwich; 21st July – Kedleston Hall, Derby.

Last year, another person won a bid  to sing ‘When You’re Gone’ with Bryan onstage on this tour…hence why the Northampton/Liverpool dates might not be available for selection. Anyway the NSPCC ‘dream auction’ website can be viewed at http://www.dreamauctionfullstop.com/

ROCKER Bryan Adams is starting a new tour – of Huddersfield!

The Canadian superstar, due at the Galpharm Stadium next month, has hit town already. Or at least a life-sized version has!

Promotions staff from the stadium are taking the cutout figure on a tour of the town in the coming weeks to promote the big rock concert, which takes place on June 1. The cutout is seen with Linda Myers (left) and Anna Young.

Adams, who appeared at the stadium for a sell-out concert a decade ago, will be supported by singer Beverley Knight.

Now the cutout will be on show in venues as diverse as Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Asda supermarkets, the Odeon Cinema, the Showcase Cinema at Birstall and Huddersfield University.

“We can’t get Bryan himself here until June so this is the next best thing”, said Linda, of the stadium team.

Tickets for the concert are available from the stadium.

And he roped in friends and colleagues at the stadium for a trial run – before starting work for the summer’s big concert.

Hence the special tasting event, when the likes of Town manager Peter Jackson and stadium managing director Ralph Rimmer tested Thai vegetable moneybags, prawn won-tons, escalope of chicken with button mushrooms and bacon, pot-roasted beef and brie and redcurrant tart. (more…)

The on-again, off-again concert by Bryan Adams is off again.

After five months of waiting for confirmation from the Canadian rocker’s management, Nanaimo Area Land Trust has given up hope that Adams will play a summer benefit for the Save Mount Benson Campaign.

And instead, the non-profit organization is going ahead without the star.

“We’ve had the sense from the get-go that the manager wasn’t that keen on a Nanaimo concert,” said Gail Adrienne, NALT spokeswoman. “So our sense is that he’s just ignoring it at this point.”

Adrienne is refering to Bruce Allen, Adams’ longtime manager, based out of Vancouver. Allen issued a press release last December, saying Adams would play an outdoor benefit in Nanaimo in August. But that was the last communication NALT had from Allen. (more…)

THOUSANDS of Bryan Adams fans witnessed an electrifying performance.

The gravelly-voiced Canadian rocker performed a two-hour set, cramming in as much material from his long music career as possible.

He was undoubtedly a hit – but the evening had got off to a great start with a set from up-and-coming Huddersfield band Smooth.

The trio, headed by 20-year-old singer Gavin Ellis, performed well at their biggest concert to date.

Gavin was joined onstage by band mates Matt Coates on bass guitar, and drummer Danny Fletcher.

They performed their own rock-inspired material with enthusiasm, with Gavin particularly cutting a strong presence with his mature vocals.

Soul diva Beverley Knight was the special guest on the evening’s bill. (more…)

You’ve played many gigs in the North East of England – what do you think of Newcastle and what are your abiding memories of the people and the place?

Bryan: The last time I was up there it was really cold and raining, but what surprised me was the way girls go out with such little clothing when it’s so cold! I mean, I come from Canada, and women don’t do that there… maybe they should!

You’re someone who has dedicated most of your career to touring – do you ever get tired of it? (more…)

Chris Martin, Bryan Adams, Martha Lane Fox, Bob Geldof and Archbishop Desmond Tutu are among nearly 20,000 people who have backed the Observer and Amnesty International campaign to end repression on the internet. This remarkable response to the launch of irrepressible.info last week included support from around the world.The campaign – 45 years after a powerful article in this newspaper led to the founding of Amnesty International – recognises the internet as a new frontier in the struggle for human rights. It demands that governments stop censoring websites, blocking emails and persecuting and imprisoning bloggers. It also calls for major corporations to stop making it easier for them to do so.

A remarkable 18,790 people have pledged their support so far. Among them is Martha Lane Fox, who became a star of the first ‘dotcom boom’ when she co-founded the online retailer lastminute.com. She said: ‘I was lucky enough to have my horizons expanded and my business life transformed by the web – I wholeheartedly support The Observer’s Irrepressible campaign.’ (more…)

Wolfsburg, 07 June 2006 – Alongside its launch, the Volkswagen Eos is also making a debut in photographic art. No sooner had Canadian singer Bryan Adams picked up the prestigious Lead Award of the German marketing and media scene for his photo shoot with US rebel actor Mickey Rourke, than he had set his sights on a very special model: the Eos convertible coupé from Volkswagen.

The idea was born at a breakfast attended by representatives of Volkswagen and the magazine ZOO, which has been running for three years and is published by Bryan Adams. In search of ways of depicting the Eos that were out of the ordinary, the magazine’s editor in chief Sandor Lubbe suggested photographs by internationally renowned fashion photographers. (more…)

Rome, June 20 – American pop balladeer Billy Joel and Canadian rocker Bryan Adams will be following in illustrious footsteps at this year’s free concert at the Colosseum .

The two pop giants, who will play in the shadow of the ancient Roman monument on July 31, are eager to see their gig is no less spectacular than ones given in the same place by Paul McCartney, Simon & Garfunkel and Elton John .

The former Beatle and the legendary New York duo drew crowds of 500,000 to their concerts in 2003 and 2004 .

Sir Elton managed to top that with 600,000 last year .

Edmonton’s City Streets frontman Rick Reid admits to Reckless being the reason he decided to play guitar.  Bryan Adams’s 1984 spawned six top-40 hits.

“If I am going to be honest, I have to go back to grade 4,” Reid says.  ”When I was a kid, I was really into sports, but it was that album that got me into music. That was the album which eventually led me to pick up a guitar.”

There was no escaping Reckless. Songs like “Summer of 69,” “It’s Only Love” (with Tina Turner)  ”Heaven” and “Run To You” were on hit radio non-stop.

“You still hear songs from it on the radio all the time,” says Reid. “Really, Bryan Adams is a great songwriter when it comes to melody. OK, a lot of his lyrics are really cheesy, but some of his songs sound really, really good. I’m not ashamed to say that.”

Reid actually thinks that you can make some kind of link between how he turned on to Bryan Adams years ago and where he is now as a musician. But City Streets doesn’t sound anything like Bryan Adams. Make no mistake.

By Kate Mansey, Liverpool Echo

BRYAN Adams says he’s not looking forward to all the tracksuits when he comes to Liverpool.And as he returns to the Summer Pops this year, he shows no signs of curbing his cheeky sense of humour.

In his career, the 46-year-old Canadian has produced an exhausting list of albums and singles. He has written tunes for other artists and now has even turned his hand to photography. From his rock anthems such as Summer of ‘69 to his ever-popular ballads, Bryan has been the master of his own career.
It was (Everything I Do) I Do It For You that secured Bryan a place in the hearts of UK fans, earning him the record for the longest running No.1

Bryan later teamed up with Liverpool’s Melanie C to record When You’re G one.
More recently he re-recorded the track with none other than former Baywatch star Pamela Anderson to help it appeal to the US market. (more…)

IT WAS the last night of the Summer Pops 06 and what a way to go out as Canada’s finest singersongwriter played a stunning two-hour set.

It was a greatest hits collection and more with pencil-thin Bryan and his band, all in dark T-shirts and jeans, who ensured that this was a real going-away party where audience participation was compulsory.

Bryan had two microphones set up on stage: one on the right and one on the left allowing him to run from one to the other between songs so his fans could see him.

It was a rich, faultless and diverse set delivered without any pop pomposity.

Everything I Do) I do It For You, which stayed at the top of the charts longer than any other number one, was here presented via Bryan on acoustic guitar. The crowd joined in on all the right places. (more…)

HE summed it up perfectly: “It was great last time but tonight it was even better.”

It only took one word from him in the strongest Scouse accent possible – LIVERPOOL – and the Big Top roared as you have never heard it before.

There really could not have been a better act to bring the Summer Pops to a grand finale than the Canadian rocker, Bryan Adams.

He never fails to impress, whether its at the Summer Pops or before a huge crowd at the MEN Arena, Bryan will always bring the house down.

And last night was no exception with the sell out audience dancing and rocking the night away with the star. (more…)

Bryan Adams and Billy Joel at the Colosseum 31 July.

Bryan and Billy Joel are the “ospiti d’onore” at this year’s free-entry Telecomcert to be held at the Colosseum on Monday, 31 July at 21.00.
Bryan will take the stage first and will sing for about an hour, followed by a two-hour performance by Billy Joel, who hasn’t performed on Italian soil for over 11 years. Bryan’s most recent tour in Italy, but which excluded Rome, was last September.

The event, which is organised by Telecom and the city every summer, boasts a 26-metre long stage and ten megascreens. Numerous tents will be set up to deal with emergencies and three tanks of drinking water will be available to the public. A special area for the disabled (with some 200 seats) will also be available.

Special barriers will be set up to protect the monuments and archaeological sites along Via dei Fori Imperiali. (more…)

(ANSA) – Rome, July 31 – American pop balladeer Billy Joel is promising to do his best Russel Crowe imitation Monday evening when he plays at the Colosseum with Canadian rocker Bryan Adams .

MONTREAL (CP) – A new poll suggests Bryan Adams’ Summer of ‘69 is top of the pops when it comes to Canada’s favourite driving song. 

The Decima Research survey of 1,000 Canadians has the song beating out Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody and Steppenwolf’s classic Born to be Wild.

Summer of ‘69, which came out in the mid-1980s, topped the list for anglophones and francophones, as well as for men and women.

 The respondents were given a list of seven songs chosen by a panel of music journalists.

The poll was conducted July 12-19 and is considered accurate within 3.1 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.

WHEN Bryan Adams topped the charts in 1991 with (Everything I Do) I Do It For You the then 11-year-old Katherine Jenkins loved it so much she learnt to play it on the piano.

Little did she know that 15 years later she would record a classical version of the record-breaking song – with Bryan Adams playing guitar.

“I’ve loved that song since I saw it in Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves,” reveals the 26-year-old Welsh soprano. “As I did with Dolly Parton’s I Will Always Love You on my last album I had the lyrics translated into Italian but I had to get permission from the writer.

“So I got in touch with Bryan who said ‘Wow, it’s an amazing idea’ and he asked to be involved in the recording. (more…)

Pizza-faced Canuck rocker Bryan Adams will give two concerts in Hungary in late November. The shows are part of a tour to mark the 25th anniversary of his career, and apparently have nothing to do with the 50th anniversary of the crushing of the Hungarian uprising, though frankly 25 years of Bryan Adams is not totally dissimilar to 25 years under the yolk of the Russkies.

Actress Sadie Frost has unveiled her naked portrait as she launched an anti-fur campaign in central London. 

The celebrity bared her bottom for an advert for animal rights organisation Peta as London’s Fashion Week got under way.

Frost, 41, a strict vegetarian, posed with her naked image in Covent Garden.

The advert was shot by rock star Bryan Adams and features the actress-turned-fashion designer peering provocatively over her shoulder next to the tag line: “Turn Your Back On Fur”.

The actress said: “Peta’s anti-fur campaign is basically about turning your back on fur.

“Through doing the naked photo, people will hopefully stop and look at the campaign.” (more…)

An Article by Steven Stanley

“‘Never Let Go’ is a song that features in the new film ‘The Guardian’ (starring Ashton Kutcher & Kevin Costner). It’s about the unsung heroes of the US Coastguards that risk their lives on a daily basis so we, the public have a safer life. The song asks as Adams throws his heart and soul into his latest film effort… and it has to be said, it’s one of his better ones. 

The song has a great score arranged by Rabin and orchestrated by Jennifer Hammond. What you would have thought would have been the end of BA & brilliant film scores after the death of Michael Kamen just goes to show you… it’s not. Michael Kamen would have loved this score. It’s right up there and production wise the whole thing blends perfectly as a film soundtrack.   (more…)

Q: When you think back, at what point in your life did photography become important to you? 

A: It became important the moment I found out I was going on tour. I bought a Canon AE-1 and took lots of slides of my first tour. I did that a few years but then lost interest, mostly because fame launched itself upon me. It was different when I was suddenly the object of somebody else`s camera and it wasn´t until I was on tour and working with a photographer in Japan that I became interested again. We walked into a used camera shop and there was a beautiful old Rolleiflex camera, made in 1959. I bought it and still use it today. In fact, many of the shots in this Portfolio were taken with this old camera.

For almost two hours Tuesday night, the Canadian rock star took the audience in Messecenter Herning on an unforgettable trip.

The time is a quarter to nine and and the arena is filled with an audience with great expectations and who only wait for him to go on stage. And finally it happens. What few seconds before looked like a country dance with the lights on, changes to a growling forum with tension and excitement.

On the stage in front of a little more than 6000 people appear 5 men all wearing black t-shirts. In the front is Bryan Adams, and the screams from the arena almost forces you to wear ear plugs.

He gets right to it and start an already promising concert with the title song from his album “Roomservice”, which is not one of the most known songs.

Indianapolis – Residents and visitors to the Circle City may remember the Tom Otterness exhibit downtown last year, which placed whimsical bronze sculptures throughout the downtown area. Next week, a new public art exhibit opens in Indianapolis.

Something big is moving in downtown and it’s sure to get a lot of attention. Inside some crates are large wooden animals including a deer, a cat and a goat.

“I think they’re pretty playful,” said Jamie Pawus, artist and volunteer.

They are among the works of British artist Julian Opie and part of his new 11-piece installation called Signs.

“What he’s going to do for the community is push us to understand the non-traditional use of materials, his use of sign-making, plastic and light and things like this. It’s not traditional bronze. This is not your grandmother’s sculpture,” said Mindy Ross Taylor. (more…)

Q: You started to photograph and document a long time ago and so your work at the studios and on your tours. Did your approach to the photography as a creative activity change since your beginning? Did the choice of your reasons change?
Adams: Yes, certainly. First I did some photos because I wanted to archive in any format. Because no one else didn´t care about this documentation, I took my cam – and honestly I wished I took some more photos. This kind of work has inspired me a lot because I´ve seen/ I see a lot of places I´ve never been before and I get to know a lot of fascinating people which otherwise I never had met. What can you want more?
Q: Which kind of cameras do you use? Is the equipment depending on basic conditions or on your mood/ideas?
Adams: Wherever I go I´d rather have the same equipment with me. Some cameras I have a long time like my Rolleiflex and my Polaroid cameras. Sometimes I grub out my old 10 x 8 Deardoff but most of the time I use a Mamya RZ and different 35 mm cameras like my Leica M6 and my Contax T2 on which I can count on too.
Q: Can you imagine yourself working with a digital camera?
Adams: Yes, I´ve worked with that a few times. That’s really completely different from a film in a camera. It works best when I collaborate with a good lab which catches on a lot from “colourmanagement” during picture editing.
Q: Do you work more conceptual or more spontaneous? (more…)

The top spot goes to celebrity duo Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie
who can be credited with humanizing the plight of Africa’s many poor
countries. Anyone who suggests pop stars can’t change the world need only glance at the record of Bono, in the No. 2 spot, who has been recognized for his work in the fight against HIV/AIDS.

Composer,singer, author and actor Sting takes the No. 3 spot for his various contributions to charity, including his dedication to the environment.

Other names on the list include Oprah Winfrey, Bill and Melinda Gates, Sir Elton John and, of course, our very own Bryan Adams, who placed No. 11 for his involvement in innumerable charitable organizations. This year, he became the first Western artist to perform in Karachi, Pakistan, with a benefit concert to help underprivileged children.

The program will highlight stories presented right here on BryanAdams.Org, recall great moments from Bryan’s history-making career, and take your questions, comments, and recollections of Bryan, as well as feedback on the show itself.  Most importantly you’ll hear the great tracks you’ve come to expect from Radio BA.org, as well as your requests!
