With a career spanning more than 25 years’ duration and worldwide sales exceeding 60 million copies, the attitude that “I’m just a lucky guy to be here” by Bryan Adams seems so simple compared to his musical achievements.
His songs have got to be no. 1 in more than 30 countries around the world, and thereby achieving spectacular record sales internationally. Bryan Adams was awarded the Medal of Merit of Canada, the country of his birth and where he received the award for Artist of the Decade in 1990, and reaffirmed its status as the principal musical ambassador of Canada.
Bryan has recorded with music legends from around the world, including Pavarotti, Barbra Streisand, Celine Dion, Rod Stewart, Sting, Smokey Robinson and many more. He holds the record for the longest single was at number. 1 of the British charts of all time with the success of the film Robin Hood (Everything I Do) I Do It For You. Adams also managed to climb to the top of the charts in U.S. four times with songs from soundtracks: Heaven, (Everything I Do) I Do It For You, All For Love (with Rod Stewart and Sting) and Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman?.
Their live performances have helped the benefit of HRH Prince of Wales at the Prince’s Trust, Live Aid and the concert for the release of Nelson Mandela, Greenpeace, Amnesty International, NetAid, Canadian Avalanche Foundation (Canadian Avalanche) and other campaigns that have saved rainforests, freed prisoners of conscience, provided with food and improved living conditions for the poor, as it has created a sanctuary for whales.
Bryan has contributed a song to a charity album and a campaign to find a cure for breast cancer, while performed in a benefit concert to raise funds for this purpose and create a special department for the detection of breast cancer in General Hospital St. Catherine in Canada in early 1998. It has also created two foundations to raise money that he made black and white photographs of famous Canadian women, they included Celine Dion, Alanis Morissette, Joni Mitchell and many other titled “Made In Canada” as well as for British women a book called “Haven” (Refuge). All proceeds from these two books are donated to the Canadian Foundation for Breast Cancer Haven and Trust (a program of breast cancer in the United Kingdom). The interest in photography of Bryan Adams has led him to accept orders for Russian Vogue Magazine, ELLE Australian, Canadian and FLARE MARIE CLAIRE UK.
The jackpots are numerous including 17 Canadian Juno Awards, a Grammy, an American Music Award and numerous awards from industry and for his compositions and his collection of accolades including three Oscar nominations (Academy Awards Hollywood) for his work on soundtracks.
