Rebel Romantic Who Still Owns the Stage at 65 - Page 3

November 5th isn’t just another date on the calendar, it’s the day rock ’n’ roll tips its hat to one of its most enduring heroes, Bryan Adams.  Born in 1959 in Kingston, Ontario, Adams has spent more than four decades proving that real rock doesn’t fade—it just gets louder with age

He burst out of the Canadian club scene in the early ’80s like a firecracker in denim, guitar slung low, voice full of grit and glory.  Albums like Cuts Like a Knife and Reckless turned him from local rocker to global superstar.  When “Summer of ’69” hit, it wasn’t just a song, it became a time machine for anyone who’s ever chased love, freedom or the perfect guitar riff.

Then came the megahit that sealed his legend:  “(Everything I Do) I Do It for You.”  The power-ballad conquered charts across the planet, made movie-goers swoon, and put Adams in the same league as Springsteen and Bon Jovi. F rom that point on, he wasn’t just Canada’s rock export, he was a world-class hit-maker.

Now, Adams is back with a vengeance.  His new album Roll With the Punches droped in August via his own label Bad Records.  It’s raw, it’s real and it’s him calling the shots.  To support this, he’s launched the massive Roll With the Punches Tour 2025, a 40-date arena run through North America (and more), with deep cuts, new tracks and all the classics you gotta hear.

Beneath the fame, Bryan Adams kept his edge.  He’s still a road-warrior, selling out arenas, shredding through classics and proving that his raspy voice only gets better with time. O ff-stage, he’s a photographer, activist and all-around rock gentleman, equal parts grit and grace.

Now turning 65, Bryan Adams shows no signs of slowing down.  He’s living proof that rock isn’t about age—it’s about attitude.  So crank up “Run to You”, raise a glass, and salute the man who made the world sing, shout and fall in love.  Bryan Adams isn’t just celebrating a birthday he’s reminding us that the heart of rock ’n’ roll still beats loud and clear.
