Bryan Adams: Classic Rocker Launching First Canadian Arena Tour in 20 Years

A tour like this is sure to bring out all walks of life. Everyone from blue-collar cougars and classic-rock revivalists to the Gen Xers and baby boomers who remember when he ruled radio will want to grab their first real six-string and get their 'Summer of '69' on.
Adams has indeed toured Canada in recent years in support of 2010's acoustic 'Bare Bones,' but it's been ages since the 'Cuts Like a Knife' rocker delivered his booming hits on a full-fledged arena rock tour.
Hopefully being alongside his longtime band -- including guitarist Keith Scott, drummer Mickey Curry, Keyboardist Gary Breit and bassist Norm Fisher -- will remind the 52-year-old that being a photographer is cool and all but it can't compare to the roar of an arena.
Oh, and if you can't get past Adam's late-period shlock, might we direct you to this story about why he still matters: Bryan Adams: A Defense

Good news for all rock fans. With that raspy voice and a long string of great hits, the talented musician will be a breath of fresh air on this year's concert stop. Hopefully, he will tour the U.S. as well.

I hope he comes to the states because I will see him again. I saw him up in South Bend, IN a few years ago. Wonder why he is living in England? ODD!
