" I always knew I'd be in music in some sort of
capacity. I didn't know if I'd be successful at it,
but I knew I'd be
doing something in it. Maybe get a job in a record store.
Maybe even
play in a band. I never got into this to be a star."
Canadian Bryan Adams rose to popularity in 1983 with the release of his
third album, "Cuts Like A Knife". The album made him popular throughout
the United States. However, it was his fourth album "Reckless", which is
referred to as one of the best albums of the eighties that made him an
international superstar and gave him his first Grammy nomination. It
also sold 4 million copies at the time. In 1987, he released "Into the
Fire", a more social conscious album. The album yielded a top ten hit
"Heat Of The Night", another Grammy nomination and another platinum
album to his name. In 1991, however, he released the album "Waking Up
The Neighbours" which included the single "(Everything I Do) I Do It For
You". The song sold more than three million copies in the US, becoming
the second best selling single, second only to "We Are The World". It
was also Adams's first Academy-Award nomination and Golden Globe nomination as the song was written for the film Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves
(1991). "Waking Up The Neighbours" sold 4 million albums in the US and
garnered him six Grammy nominations (a record for a Canadian). He won
one for best song written specifically for a motion picture or
television ("(Everything I Do) I Do It For You"). In 1993, he released a
greatest hits album, titled "So Far So Good", which spawned a #1 hit,
"Please Forgive Me". In 1995, Adams released the single "Have You Ever
Really Loved A Woman?" from the movie Don Juan DeMarco (1994), which became his fourth #1 hit and his second Academy-Award
nomination. He is one of two non-American singers to have four number
one hits and the most successful Canadian singer ever. In 1996, he
released the album "18 Til I Die", which has garnered him another 2
Grammy nominations. Later that year, he sang and wrote the single, "I
Finally Found Someone", a duet with Barbra Streisand for her movie, The Mirror Has Two Faces (1996), later that year. "I Finally Found Someone" became a top ten hit and won Adams his third Academy-Award
nomination. He has released three more albums since then, "MTV
Unplugged" in 1997, "On A Day Like Today" in 1998 and most recently all
of the songs for the Dreamworks animated film Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron (2002) in which Adams got his second Golden Globe nomination for "Best song". He is currently touring the world.
"I got in trouble with the police, and that was a rude
awakening. That was it.
I'd seen the bottom of the pit, and it was time
to scrape myself out of it."
