It was so much fun.&quot;<br /><br />Ms Mannetje. 22, has been a fan since she was a young teen. It was the third of his concerts she has attended - but definitely the most memorable.<br /><br />&quot;He said, 'Thank you so much Allie, that was awesome, your energy was amazing',&quot; she said of her idol's kind words after their duet.<br /><br />In appreciation, Adams presented her with his guitar pick, a &quot;bunch&quot; of t-shirts and some souvenir photo books.<br /><br />&quot;I didn't believe it would all go like this, but I'm glad it did,'' Ms Mannetje said.<br /><br />&quot;It's a little 15 minutes of fame, which is nice.&quot; <br /><br />Picture: Darryn Smith - Sunshine Coast florist Allie Mannetje reprises her role at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Saturday night when Canadian singer Bryan Adams asked her up on to the stage to do a duet in front of 10,000. <br />by Nicole Horesch</div>]]></description>

Detached, if you like. Ready to be brutally honest about a performance, without fear or favour.<br /><br />Then Bryan Adams started playing, and logic went out the window, as words to songs I thought I’d forgotten flooded perfectly formed back into my brain.<br /><br />Canada’s most famous vegan pumped out a night of nostalgic pop rock that delighted the all-but-sold-out crowd at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre.<br /><br />And if it’s uncool to like Bryan Adams – well, there were a lot of uncool people at Boondall last night.<br /><br />It was the last Australian show of this tour, celebrating 22 years since Waking Up the Neighbours was released.<br /><br />“Everyone has a reason they came here tonight – a song, a connection, a memory,” Adams told the crowd about midway through the concert.<br /><br />For a couple behind me, they were no doubt good memories, as they spent the evening attached to each other by the face.<br /><br />For two blokes down in front, it was a new connection – both attending with female partners who were reluctant to dance, they just ignored them and played air guitar with each other.<br /><br />For me, it was a song.<br /><br />(Everything I Do) I Do It For You was a massive part of my childhood, and remains one of the few love songs I can sing along to with a complete lack of ironic distance.<br /><br />When Adams, standing in a pool of green light, broke into those oh-so-familiar chords, I was 10 years old again, fresh out of seeing Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, a movie that I fell in love with and remain inordinately fond of.<br /><br />One of his biggest worldwide hits, it had the crowd bewitched, swaying and singing along, no doubt remembering how good Kevin Costner was despite the American accent.<br /><br />Maybe that was just me.<br /><br />Of course, it wasn’t the only song to inspire a singalong. In a concert that delivered – for want of a better clich&eacute; – hit after hit after hit, there were numerous occasions when Adams cheekily held back from the vocals, allowing the crowd to bust out the lyrics. The most beautiful examples were Heaven, Cuts Like a Knife, and of course, Summer of ’69.<br /><br />Adams was ably supported by his longtime band, all dressed identically to Bryan in blue jeans and black shirts. Lead guitarist Keith Scott was a devil with the ax, providing big solos on songs like Heart’s On Fire and It’s Only Love, but showboated a bit too much for my liking.<br /><br />However, I simply adored the stripped back version of If You Want to Leave Me that saw drummer Mickey Currie playing pots, pans and bucket drums. The use of big screens and lighting effects gave punch to an otherwise clean stage set-up, dominated by Adams’ many guitars and a beautiful grand piano.<br /><br />The high point of the evening was Adams selecting a woman from the audience to accompany him on the duet Baby When You’re Gone.<br /><br />Ally, the Coolum Beach florist, couldn’t sing a note, bless her. But you’ve never seen someone impress an audience so much. She knew all the words and threw everything she had into the moment. By the end of the song, she was a rock star, and the audience acclaimed her as such. It was a generous move by Adams to share the stage, and left everybody buzzing.<br /><br />The last big rock song was Run to You, followed by the more dreamy Cloud Number Nine. At that point the band left the stage, and Adams grabbed an acoustic guitar and harmonica to perform Straight From the Heart.<br /><br />The finale was a solo version of All for Love, recorded originally with Rod Stewart and Sting for The Three Musketeers. Adams encouraged everyone to light up the BEC with their phones, and the effect was really very pretty.<br /><br />Hearing Adams’ songs played one by one like that did force me to admit that, yes, they are kind of same-y. The fact he has one song called Heaven and another called Thought I’d Died and Gone to Heaven – and played both – does bear that out.<br /><br />But it's a niche he dominates, and you can’t fault him for delivering a high energy show that hit all the sweet spots for fans.<br /><br />Picture: Bryan left a nearly sold-out Boondall crowd bewitched, swaying and singing along.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />by Nicole Horesch</div>]]></description>

Die Wiener Galerie Ostlicht zeigt die Bilder ab 19. Juni.<br /><br />Sean Penn, Tommy Lee, Victoria Beckham, Amy Winehouse oder Kate Moss: Der kanadische Rockstar Bryan Adams ist bekannt f&uuml;r seine Fotos von Schauspielern und Models. Nun zeigt der in London lebende Musiker rund 30 Schwarz-Wei&szlig;-Aufnahmen von verst&uuml;mmelten Soldaten, die aus dem Afghanistaneinsatz in die Heimat zur&uuml;ckkehrten.<br /><br />„Ich war immer Pazifist und Kriegskritiker. Ich denke es war falsch, nach Afghanistan und in den Irak zu gehen. Aber wer bin ich schon? Die Geschichte hat gezeigt, dass es nicht richtig war“, sagte er in einem Interview anl&auml;sslich der Er&ouml;ffnung der Ausstellung im NRW-Forum in D&uuml;sseldorf.<br /><br />Mit dem Fotos wolle er das „Erbe des Krieges zeigen“. „Die Soldaten sieht man in England oft nur, wenn sie &ouml;ffentlich Tapferkeitsorden bekommen. Manchmal sieht man sie, wenn sie Geld sammeln oder bei Sportveranstaltungen. Aber man sieht sie nicht so wie hier“, so Adams.<br /><br />Interesse an den Menschen<br /><br />Die Schau „Bryan Adam - exposed“ vereint weiters rund 150 Portr&auml;ts von Hollywood-Schauspielern, Musikern und Models. Viele der Aufnahmen werden bereits zu Ikonen der Starfotografie gez&auml;hlt.<br /><br />„Adams Aufnahmen spielen mit den Klischees der Darstellung von Celebrities in der &Ouml;ffentlichkeit – manche zeigen die Stars in ironisch-humorvollen Situationen, andere in intimen Momenten“, hei&szlig;t es in der Aussendung der Galerie OstLicht. „Immer jedoch zeugen Adams Fotografien von einem tiefen Interesse an den Menschen. Dabei beherrscht er sowohl das Handwerk der klassischen Studioaufnahme als auch die &Auml;sthetik des Snapshots“, hie&szlig; es in der Ank&uuml;ndigung.<br /><br />Veranstaltungshinweis<br />Ausstellung „Bryan Adams - Exposed“ in der Galerie OstLicht. 19.

<description><![CDATA[Bryan Adams: The Bare Bones Tour. <br /><br />Michael Fowler Centre, Wellington, April 22. <br /><br />It's probably an apocryphal story, but when US folk singer Ryan Adams first started touring, he came across a fan that kept shouting out requests for Canadian pop-rocker Bryan Adams songs, to the extent that Ryan stopped the show and had the fan removed.  <br /><br />Now, that was always unlikely to happen to Bryan Adams last night, for his audience was a packed house, hyped to the max and knowing every lyric, and for the majority of the female fans Adams could do no wrong. <br /><br />It is hard to place Adams in the context of popular music. Sure, he has sold a zillion discs, but it would also be fair to say that the majority of his songs are "coat hanger" songs in that many are merely cliches hung onto a chorus. At best, Adams is in the Ronan Keating and Don Henley league. <br /><br />Last night's stripped back guitar-and-piano setting revealed a limited guitarist and stock-in-trade chord changes, with the many of the tunes hanging by a thread, often presented as karaoke versions. The audience didn't mind this sing-a-long approach, but at times I felt as if I was at a born-again tent revival meeting. <br /><br />Then, just as I thought all was lost, several songs hit the mark. Everything I Do really is a masterpiece, while Summer Of '69 is a song cloaked in the substance of yesteryear and nostalgia at its best. <br /><br />Best for me was a song Adams wrote with Ray Charles in mind. The Right Place, with pianist Gary Briet, channelled Charles' signature soul/blues/gospel sound and I would think he could offer it to Aaron Neville or Dr John without embarrassment. <br /><br />If the audience came with the expectation of an evening of<br />nostalgia they got their money's worth. <br /><br />Picture: CHARMER: Bryan Adams knocked out acoustic renditions of his hits to an appreciative audience.<br /><br /><br /><br />by Nicole Horesch</div>]]></description>

Adams whipped the crowd into a frenzy at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, VIC, Australia on Saturday night as he belted out a non-stop array of hits over two hours.<br /><br />In 2011, Adams treated his fans to an intimate “Bare Bones” theatre tour, which received rave reviews. However, this is Adams’ first arena performance in Australia since 2005, and it was evident he was thrilled to be back on those shores with his band. Current band members include Keith Scott (lead guitar, backing vocals), Mickey Curry (drums), Norm Fisher (bass), and Gary Breit (keyboards).<br /><br />Adams, 53, announced to the crowd that this tour was a belated celebration marking 20 years since “Walking Up The Neighbourhood” was released. He certainly has a lot to celebrate, with a total of sixteen albums under his belt and numerous awards, including being inducted into the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2011. Adams’ talent is undeniable and the Canadian rocker has come a long way from his early days as a dishwasher.<br /><br />His warmth radiated as he interacted with the crowd throughout the night, asking them to sing along with him. As he held the microphone out to crowd, they obligingly sang along to “Cuts Like A Knife” and “Heaven”. Fans were taken on a walk down memory lane with old favourites such as “Run To You” and “Can’t Stop This Thing We've Started”.<br /><br />At one point, Adams asked for the lights to be turned on as he scanned the crowd for a singer to accompany him. Pharmacy assistant, Janine, was selected from the crowd and performed , “Baby When You're Gone” alongside him. Adams' sultry voice has a way of making people do as he says.<br /><br />For me, the highlight was “Summer of 69”, and I wasn’t alone. Almost the entire arena was up on their feet singing along with Adams. This song has a way of taking you on a journey, even if you weren't alive in the aforementioned summer.<br /><br />Towards the end of the night, the band bid their farewell, leaving Adams on the stage to perform “Straight From The Heart”. Watching him play the guitar and harmonica so effortlessly is a clear indication as to why he’s had sustained longevity and appeal as an artist.<br /><br />Overall, Adams was flawless, and knows how to reel the crowd in with his endearing spirit, and stellar vocalization.<br /><br /><br />by Nicole Horesch</div>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<br />19 April, 2013 9:08AM AEST<br /><br />Review by Justin Huntsdale<br /><br />Canada's prolific hit-writer opens his Australian tour in the Illawarra with a full house.<br /><br />Music Details<br /><br />Venue: Wollongong Entertainment Centre<br />Performers: Bryan Adams<br />Duration: 150 minutes<br />Rating: 4 stars<br /><br />If you want your commercial music journey through the 1980s and 90s charted on stage, a Bryan Adams concert will do it.<br /><br />His two hour fifteen minute performance at the Wollongong Entertainment Centre last night was less a casual walk down memory lane than a race car drive down it, with your driver relentlessly pointing out every highlight of his distinguished career.<br /><br />This is an artist with more hit songs than you can probably remember, and with the 53 year old Canadian rocker looking trim, fit and still in remarkably strong voice, he's got no problem serving them all up like some delicious musical banquet.<br /><br />And the Illawarra audience dined out - the Wollongong Entertainment Centre full - right until the end when he dismissed his hard working band and settled in for an acoustic finish to the evening.<br /><br />Even when you'd ticked off: 'Summer of 69', 'Run to you', 'Can't stop this thing we've started', '(Everything I do) I do it for you', 'Cuts like a knife', 'Please forgive me', 'Heaven', 'When you're gone' (performed with an audience member), 'The only thing that looks good on me is you', 'Do I have to say the words' and 'Thought I'd died and gone to heaven', there was more.<br /><br />Adams stands on stage, acoustic guitar in hand while the crowd calls for one more and says 'You know I've got a lot of songs - lucky for you I can't remember half of them'.<br /><br />Then he remembers another, 'All for love'.<br /><br />That's right, another huge hit, this one recorded with his friends Sting and Rod Stewart.<br /><br />And while some musicians turn the microphone over to the crowd for impossibly high notes, Adams fearlessly and successfully attacks them.<br /><br />In his words, maybe he will be 18 'til he dies.<br /><br />by Charlotte Wolff</div>]]></description>

<enclosure type="image/jpeg" url="http://www.bryanadams.com/files/Image/your_news/bam10558__20130419.jpg"/><description><![CDATA[ Thirty years after his breakthrough album, Bryan Adams, who performs in Wellington next week, embraces a new era, writes Craig Mathieson.<br /><br />Bryan Adams believes in hard work. Despite writing rock anthems for successive generations, the Canadian singer and guitarist briskly rejects any notion of songs just appearing to their creator.<br /><br />They come, like all your other achievements, as the result of great effort and application. He doesn't have a speck of dilettante in him.<br /><br />&quot;If you want to write good songs, you have to put the time in. They will not fall into your lap,&quot; says the 53-year-old craftsman, whose back catalogue includes the likes of Summer of '69, Run to You, Cuts Like a Knife, Heaven and (Everything I Do) I Do It for You. &quot;You have to be a grafter if you want to make it. That's all there is to it.&quot;<br /><br />Adams is speaking from North Carolina, where he is in the midst of a long tour alternating between two formats: stripped down acoustic performances in theatres - which will include Wellington - and full-blown arena shows with his long-time band.<br /><br />Adams, who talks in clipped, authoritative sentences, appreciates the cross-currents and feedbacks that come with two different styles of live show.<br /><br />&quot;The two shows are quite different, even though a lot of the songs are the same. Playing acoustic really helps with the big show because when you go back to it you've learnt a whole heap about your songs. You never stop learning, that's the main thing,&quot; he says. &quot;It's never the same twice and I love that. If we just toured as the arena band all the time it would be a grind.&quot;<br /><br />Adams is famously guarded about his private life. Only the most basic facts are known: he's a vegan, divides his time off the road between London and Paris, and has two young daughters with Alicia Grimaldi, co-founder of his charitable foundation.<br /><br />What makes that all the more notable is that he has maintained his privacy even over a 30-year career that has put him in the rarefied realm of artists who've sold more than 100 million albums worldwide.<br /><br />He has shifted more records than REM, Shania Twain or Van Halen but is sanguine about his success. January 18 this year marked the 30th anniversary of his breakthrough album, 1983's Cuts Like a Knife.<br /><br />Adams celebrated by having dinner at an Indian restaurant with Jim Vallance, the songwriting partner who gave him his first professional break when he was an unknown 18-year-old on the Vancouver music scene.<br /><br />&quot;We overindulged with a vegetable biryani,&quot; Adams says, laughing, but he admits that it's almost impossible to maintain the kind of public profile he enjoyed in the 1980s and 1990s.<br /><br />Adams hasn't put out a studio album since 11 in 2008, and while he is working on a follow-up he's unsure what to do when it's finished.<br /><br />&quot;I don't know what to do with releasing music any more. I'm making an album but I don't even know how that will go. Let's face it, even my biggest colleagues struggle to get their music heard. People don't buy music - they stream it. I'm guilty of that myself. YouTube is where I listen to music.&quot; <br /><br /> Nor does Adams want credit for a series of records that have become ubiquitous on commercial rock radio. The singer - who also has a second career as a photographer that has led to magazine shoots, exhibitions and the 2012 book Exposed - would rather keep touring than look back on his earlier works.<br /><br />Adams' first Kiwi hit was with Run to You in 1985. (Everything I Do) I Do It for You was No 1 in the New Zealand charts for an impressive eight weeks in 1991.<br /><br />&quot;I'm not looking for any credit. I just want to keep working,&quot; he says.<br /><br />&quot;It's all about being able to work with the people I've worked with for a long time. We put in a lot of time in the beginning and the hard work shows when you come around after the times have changed and your reputation still precedes you.<br /><br />&quot;Being able to come back means people know what they can expect from you.&quot; <br /><br />THE DETAILS<br /><br />Bryan Adams plays Wellington's Michael Fowler Centre on April 22. <br /><br />Picture:IN HEAVEN: &quot;You never stop learning, that's the main thing. It's never the same twice and I lover that,&quot; says Bryan Adams, who plays Wellngton next Monday.<br />by Nicole Horesch</div>]]></description>

Dass Bryan Adams aber auch ein begnadeter Fotograf ist, ist (noch) weitgehend unbekannt. Neben der Liebe zur Musik wuchs &uuml;ber die letzten Jahrzehnte auch seine Liebe zur Kunst, insbesondere zur Fotografie. Nach zwei sehr erfolgreichen und viel beachteten Ausstellungen, im NRW-Forum in D&uuml;sseldorf und im Multimedia Art Museum in Moskau, zeigt die Galerie OstLicht von 19. Juni bis 21. September 2013 die erste umfassende Schau des fotografischen Werks von Bryan Adams in &Ouml;sterreich.<br /><br />Zahlreiche Freunde, Ber&uuml;hmtheiten und Superstars standen Bryn Adams bereits Modell: Amy Winehouse, Mick Jagger, Michael Jackson, Ben Kingsley, Mickey Rourke in der Badewanne oder Dustin Hoffman im Anzug angelnd in der Meeresbrandung. 2002 wurde er anl&auml;sslich des goldenen Thronjubil&auml;ums ausgew&auml;hlt, ein Portr&auml;t von Queen Elizabeth II zu fertigen – diese Aufnahme ziert heute eine kanadische Briefmarke.<br /><br />Herausragend ist auch seine neueste Serie von britischen Soldaten, die mit schweren Verletzungen aus dem Krieg zur&uuml;ck gekehrt sind. Die eindr&uuml;cklichen Aufnahmen des Pazifisten und Kriegsgegner Adams l&auml;sst den Kriegsversehrten aber stehts ihre W&uuml;rde und Optimismus.<br /><br />Bryan Adams wurde am 5. November 1959 in Kingston/Ontario, Kanada geboren. Er ist einer der erfolgreichsten zeitgen&ouml;ssischen Rocks&auml;nger und Komponisten mit zahlreichen weltweiten Nummer-1-Hits wie “Summer of 69” oder “Everything I Do I Do It For You” und mit einer immensen B&uuml;hnenpr&auml;senz von &uuml;ber 100 Auftritten pro Jahr. Bryan Adams lebt in London.<br /><br />Kuratorin: Anke Degenhard<br />Foto: Verena Kaspar-Eisert und Bryan Adams<br />by Petra Koenigshofer</div>]]></description>
