I had the opportunity to see Bryan Adams Live in Concert at Hitex grounds , here in Hyderabad. I still am struggling to get out of the hangover.
As a result, I thought of sharing some lesser or not known facts about this 18 going on 55 Canadian pop star. Here's the list:
1. Bryan Adams full name is Bryan Guy Adams.
2. He also has a brother named Bruce Adams.
3. Apart from being a successful singer, song-writer, guitarist, producer, actor and bassist, he is also a very good photographer.
4. Before becoming one of Canada's most successful names Bryan Adams used to work as a dishwasher.
5. In 2002 Bryan Adams was invited by Common Wealth to photograph Queen Elizabeth II and Bryan's photos were used as Canadian postage stamp in 2004 and 2005.
6. Most of his HIT numbers were written for films and the only popular song that wasn't written for a film was 'Please Forgive Me'.
7. He also acted in several films, TWISTED TANGO being the latest that was released in 2004 starring Bryan Adams alongside super model Eva Herzigova.
8. Bryan Adams has sold nearly 70 million albums and 30 million singles worldwide.
9. Bryan Adams first album released when he was 15 back in 1975. Although his album 'Cuts like a knife' released in 1983, he rose to fame with the song Everything I Do which also was featured in Kevin Costner's Robin Hood.
10. Bryan Adams also has a philanthropic side. The Bryan Adams foundation has been set by him to advance education and learning opportunities for children worldwide. He's also been doing in-numerous fund raising concerts.
11. The song 'Oxygen' from the Bryan Adams album ELEVEN was part of the SHOTBYU initiative wherein the song was released and people were asked to shoot videos with their mobile phones and the best video was selected as the official video for the song.
That's it from me, if you happen to know any other lesser known facts about Bryan Adams do share them. And yeah I also feel without Keith Scott there Bryan Adams wouldn't be so successful.
Thanks for visiting my blog! & for the correction - the friend who told me about it referred to it as a coffee shop, but I soon learned it was other wise. Perfect place for a writer, if I do say so myself! Have I seen you there before?
ReplyDeleteGlad you had fun at B. Adams!
I sure had loads of fun at the concert.
ReplyDeleteI so agree that it is a perfect place for a writer or for an artist to be in this crowded city of ours.
i dont know if you've seen me or i've seen you, but we can sure catch up some time. Would be nice to have thoughts exchanged.
