BRYAN ADAMS
Just a few moments into our conversation and the reason for the pure unbridled joy relating to the new record becomes perfectly clear. Having been off the road for the longest time since he turned professional, Bryan Adam’s time in the solitary confinement imposed by the pandemic is drawing to a close and a world tour is in the offing once again. In fact, it was when an easing of restrictions looked imminent that he immersed himself in songwriting and took to the studio – practically single-handed, as it turns out – to record an album that positively shines with the bright light of optimism. It’s a fun, back-to-basics rock ’n’ roll affair that is bound to set pulses racing in stadiums across the globe when the tour kicks off later this year.
But first things first. We’ve always wondered whether the opening lyrics to the monster hit Summer Of ’69 were truly autobiographical… Mr Adams?
