Ever since school, they’ve called him “Badams.” Bryan Adams likes it. His music publishing company is called Badams Music, and his label – which released his two latest albums, Roll With The Punches (2025) and Tough Town (2026) – is called Bad Records. Yet Canada’s superstar is anything but a bad boy. In his private life, he’s considered down-to-earth; in the music business, he’s known as reliable and professional. And everyone posed for the professional photographer – from Cher and Joss Stone to Queen Elizabeth II, Mick Jagger, and Dustin Hoffman. And his fans? Over 100 million records sold are a great testament to their love.

He achieved his breakthrough in 1984 with the album Reckless – featuring hits like Run To You and Heaven. He won a Grammy for (Everything I Do) I Do It For You, the song from the Hollywood blockbuster Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. His wish, 18 Till I Die, may not come true, but at 66, Bryan Adams is still in top shape and loves nothing more than going on tour.
