Bryan Adams OC, OBC, (born 5 November 1959) is a Canadian rock singer, guitarist, songwriter and photographer. Some of his best-known albums are Reckless, 18 til I Die, and Waking Up the Neighbours.

Bryan Adams was already popular in Canada when the release of his third album ‘Cuts Like A Knife’ in 1983 brought him a large following in the USA. His fourth album, ‘Reckless’, often referred to as one of the most significant of the 1980’s, sold over 4 million copies at the time and continues to sell now. His fifth album ‘Into the Fire’ went platinum.

‘Waking Up The Neighbours’, his sixth album in 1991, powered him to international stardom. The single ‘(Everything I Do) I Do For You’ (taken from ‘Waking Up The Neighbours’) was 16 weeks at number 1; it broke a UK record that had stood since 1955 and still stands today. Across in the USA it was pretty much the same story where it became the second largest selling single to ‘We Are The World’. The song was written for the film ‘Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves’ (1991) and Mr Adams received his first Academy Award nomination. He was also nominated for a Golden Globe.

From here 42 film Directors’ have used Bryans’ music as soundtrack - from Don Juan DeMarco (1995) to Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron (2002).

Adams was awarded the C.M. (Member of the Order of Canada) on April 20th 1998 and the C.O. (Officer of the Order of Canada) on May 6th 1988 for his contribution to popular music and his philanthropic work.
