Singer, Bryan Adams was born in Kingston, Ontario on 5 November 1959. His parents were emigrants from Britain.

In 1983 Bryan Adams had his first major hit: "Straight From The Heart." His third album, Cuts Like a Knife, brought greater success. It included the hits "Straight," "Cuts Like a Knife," and "This Time."

In 1984 Reckless became a No. 1 album. It contained six top 20 singles, including Adams's first-ever No. 1 single, "Heaven."

It was in 1991 that the astonishingly succesful music from the film Prince of Thieves propelled Bryan Adams to yet another level. "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You" was a No. 1 for seven weeks in the US, and an amazing 16 weeks at No. 1 in the U.K. It was the biggest-selling single in the history of A&M Records.

In August 2005, Adams recorded a duet with Pamela Anderson of "When You're Gone," whom he had photographed wearing a Canadian flag (and nothing else) for his book Made in Canada to raise money to fight breast cancer.
