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. (read 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.” (read more..)

The Canadian rocker is heading for the home of Swindon Town on Thursday, June 8, as part of his European tour.

Last year Elton John played a sell-out concert at the ground for 18,500 fans but this year’s big event could entertain 20,000.

Club chief executive Mark Devlin said: “We had a meeting with the guys putting the stage together and we have been able to firm things up. The sight lines have been improved so there will be an extra 300 seats available. (read 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.” (read 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. (read 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.

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.  (read more..)
