With a career spanning more than thirty years, Bryan Adams is one of rock music’s most familiar names. Born in Kingston, Ontario, he has recorded 14 albums and received numerous accolades, including a Grammy, three Academy Award nominations for writing songs for films, and the Order of Canada. Aside from music, Adams has recently had great success as a photographer, with his photographs appearing in numerous international fashion magazines and on the sleeves of his albums. In 1997 he lost a friend to breast cancer and has campaigned to raise both money and awareness for the cause ever since. When not travelling the world with his photography projects and concert tours, Adams makes his home in London, England.
