Bryan, RJ Lange, and Michael Kamen wrote a song for the 1996 film, 101 Dalmations. The song was not used in the film, however, but is available on Adams' 18 Til I Die album.
Refused to allow his song "Only the Strong Survive", from his album "Into the Fire", to be used for the film Top Gun (1986), because he felt that the movie glorified war.
Is a vegan.
Current girlfriend can be seen in at least two of his videos -- "Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman?" and "Let's Make A Night To Remember"
He may be Canada's most successful pop/rock singer, but his parents were both British citizens and he currently resides in Britain. However, he still has a studio in Canada.
His fourth album, Reckless, is the best-selling Canadian album of all time. He received the Diamond Sales Award (equivalent of a platinum award in the US) for the album, a first for a Canadian.
Has been nominated for 13 Grammy nominations. Recorded "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You" in Spanish in 1992. Has received the Order of Canada and the Order of British Columbia for outstanding Canadian citizenship.
His 1991 album was declared "non-Canadian" at the time, because some of the songs were co-authored by RJ Lange, who's British. The regulations later changed and Waking Up The Neighbours was declared a Canadian album.
Refuses to attend the Juno Awards (Canada's equivalent of the Grammys) because they, according to his manager, Bruce Allen, "turned their back on the biggest thing to come out" of Canada (referring to Adams' hit "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You").
In 1976 joined replaced the lead singer of a band called Sweeney Todd. He recorded several songs for them before leaving the band in 1977. On those recordings, his voice was speeded up so it didn't sound so raspy.
Of his #1 hits, only one ("Please Forgive Me") was not written for a motion picture.
The title theme to the film A Night in Heaven (1983) was recorded at the time of the film's release, and at the time, his third album, Cuts Like A Knife, yielded several Top 10 hits. The song was later included in his fourth album, Reckless (1984), which later became a Top 10 hit. The same album also has a duet with Tina Turner titled "It's Only Love."
Had a number one single for 16 weeks (4 months) in Britain with (everything I do) I do it for you.


With his distinctive vocals and blue-collar songwriting skills, Canadian icon Bryan Adams' take on rock 'n' roll basics found a niche that has lasted for over 20 years. Adams solo career was launched with the release of his self-titled debut album Bryan Adams in February of 1980 on A&M Records. Adams had already been touring, recording demos and working as a studio musician paying his rent for a few years, but it was when Adams formed a song-writing partnership with drummer Jim Vallance that things started to happen.



In November 1999, Adams issued a second hits compilation, The Best of Me, but the American branch of A&M/Interscope declined to release it. The title track _The Best Of Me_ charted all over Europe and in Canada. Adams returned in the spring of 2002 collaborating with Hans Zimmer on his first full-length song score for a film, the animated DreamWorks feature Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron. The soundtrack made it into the Top 40 and Adams and Zimmer earned a Golden Globe Nomination for their collaboration. His most recent work is entitled Room Service, which was released in September of 2004 where it debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard European Top 100 albums Chart. Room Service is currently pending a US release in 2005
