Canadian icon Bryan Adams takes to the road this fall with a full UK Arena Tour in support of his latest album entitled ’11.

’11’ was recorded largely in hotel rooms and backstage dressing rooms around the world during the past two years and feature the return of his long time collaborator Jim Vallance on three cuts. The Adams/Vallance partnership was responsible for many of Bryan’s classic hits including ‘Heaven’,’ Summer of 69’ and ‘Run To You.’

From the uplifting ‘Broken Wings’ to the sultry ‘Mysterious Ways’ to the anthem-like ‘Something To Believe In’ [that’s boasts a chorus that should fill stadiums across the world], Bryan’s 11th recording of original material is yet another milestone in a career that has spanned two and a half decades. Whether it is the plaintive guitar solo in ‘Oxygen’ or the reflective strains of ‘I Ain’t Losin’ The Fight,’ the songs hold the listener and transport them, underscoring once again why Adams is in such demand as a songwriter and concert performer. 11 is destined to bring new live favourites to the stage that would easily sit alongside Adam’s extensive catalogue of greatest hits.

To coincide with the album and tour, an exhibition of Bryan Adams photographs will be held at London’s historic National Portrait Gallery, entitled ‘Modern Muses’.
