BRYAN ADAMS is a phenomenon in modern music. With a career spanning more than 25 years, he has sold a staggering 60 million albums and his songs have achieved #1 status in over 30 countries around the world.
Bryan is currently performing to sell out crowds in Germany and will be working on his upcoming album until he travels to South Africa for a special New Years Eve performance, prior to heading downunder in early 2003 for a series of concerts encompassing all his greatest hits.
Even with the spectacular success of soundtrack ballads, it is good old Rock 'n' Roll that has made Bryan Adams one of the world's best-loved performers. On stage with Bryan will be: Keith Scott - guitar, Mickey Curry - drums, Gary Breit - keyboards and Norm Fisher - bass.
He has earned three Academy Award nominations and three Golden Globe nominations for Best Song, the first in 1992 for "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You", from Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (which still holds the record for the longest running #1 single in British music history). In 1996, he received his second Oscar and Golden Globe nominations for "Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman?" from Don Juan DeMarco and the following year, he garnered nominations for "I've Finally Found Someone", his duet with Barbra Streisand, from The Mirror Has Two Faces. Bryan Adams' albums have spawned such hits as "Summer of '69", "Run To You", "Straight From The Heart", "Cuts Like A Knife", "Best of Me", "The Only thing that Looks Good on Me is You", "Inside Out", "All For Love " (with Sting and Rod Stewart), "When You're Gone" (with Mel C), "18 Til I Die", and "Please Forgive Me" - to mention but a few! "Best Of Me" in 1999 was the follow-up to his first greatest hits album in 1993, "So Far So Good" which has sold over 14 million copies worldwide. His most recent album, a soundtrack for the animated film Spirit: Stallion Of The Cimarron was released in 2002 and features the hit single "Here I Am".
Apart from his music, Adams has put together two books of black and white photos of notable Canadian and British women, the proceeds of which went to Breast Cancer charities and is in demand for photo assignments from such prestigious publications as Vogue and Elle. Bryan Adams' "I'm a guy that's just lucky to be here" attitude seems rather simple, compared to his career achievements. His musical message and outstanding live concerts have established him as one of the world's best rock performers and he continues to work diligently to spread his message of music and environmental concerns to an audience of millions around the globe.
Special guest for the shows will be Diesel whose latest release "Hear" is being hailed as the best album of his career.
