Coalition says rocker agrees to play show in Nanaimo Jan. 21
Bryan Adams will headline a Nanaimo benefit concert Jan. 21.
Adams reportedly agreed to appear at Frank Crane Arena to raise money for the Coalition to Save Mount Benson yesterday.
“Bryan is very enthusiastic to kick off our campaign and to raise money for the mountain,” said Gail Adrienne, a member of the coalition.
Adams is scheduled to play in Victoria the night before as part of his cross-Canada tour, which started in 2005 and will end in February 2006.
When Adrienne heard he was playing Victoria she called Adams’s dad Conrad, who lives in Nanaimo, and asked for some help.
The City of Nanaimo waived the rental fees for the arena and the rest fell into place, said Adrienne.
Ticket prices and where to purchase them will be announced within the next few weeks.
The money raised from the concert will be used to save Mount Benson from being logged by making it into a public park.

Canadian rocker BRYAN ADAMS has taken a cheeky swipe at one-time duet partner MELANIE C by replacing her with PAMELA ANDERSON on his greatest hits album.

The former SPICE GIRL duetted with Adams on 1998 track WHEN YOU’RE GONE, but he wanted to change the track for his upcoming ANTHOLOGY disc because the original failed to make an impact in the US.

And Adams was determined to use the former BAYWATCH babe even though she insisted she couldn’t sing - much to Melanie C’s chagrin.

He says, “For my new ANTHOLOGY album I wanted to replace the song I did with Mel C as it wasn’t a hit in America.

“So I asked Pamela if she could sing and she said no, and I said, ‘Perfect!’

“We recorded it in Los Angeles a couple of months ago. After a few glasses of champagne she was away.”

Bryan Adams broke a Guinness World Record this week by auctioning off the most expensive guitar in history for 1.6 million dollars. After last year’s tsunami in southeast Asia, the Canadian started getting musicians to sign the white Stratocaster in hopes of raising money for relief efforts. Just in the last year, it has been signed by nearly 20 legends, including Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Eric Clapton, Brian May, Jimmy Page, David Gilmour, Jeff Beck, Pete Townshend, Mark Knopfler, Ray Davies, Liam and Noel Gallagher of Oasis, Ronnie Wood, Tony Iommi, Angus and Malcolm Young of AC/DC, Paul McCartney, Sting, Ritchie Blackmore, Def Leppard and Adams himself.

The guitar, which was donated by Fender, was auctioned off earlier this year for more than $150,000. It was re-auctioned this week and bought for more than $1.6 million. All proceeds will go towards the Reach Out To Asia Foundation.

Adams was the guest of honor at Wednesday’s (November 16th) inaugural Reach Out To Asia charity fundraiser in the Qatari capital, Doha. He recently released Anthology, celebrating his 25th anniversary as a recording artist. Along with all of his hits, the two-disc set features a newly-recorded duet with Pamela Anderson.
