A sight to be seen on the live stage, Bryan Adams has been touring the world for nearly four decades. Aside from being on the road doing more than 100 concerts a year, he is currently working on writing the songs for the upcoming Pretty Woman musical. Adams has gathered an impressive collection of accolades over the years, including a Grammy, three Academy Awards, five Golden Globe nominations, American Music Awards, an Ivor Novello Award and countless Juno Awards. He was also awarded the Order of Canada and the Order of British Columbia – given to him for his contributions to popular music and philanthropic work via his own foundation, The Bryan Adams Foundation. It’s solid evidence that his impact on pop culture goes way beyond just music. DARYL BRAITHWAITE’S extraordinary career spans more than four decades and he is one of Australia’s most successful and popular singers.
