  • Introduction to Video Content
  • Singer Bryan Adams recently opened up about his joy at being able to play live music again after a long period of uncertainty caused by the pandemic. In an interview with ITV News, Adams shared his relief at getting his team back together and the excitement of having his 93-year-old mum play a starring role in one of his videos.
    The title track of Adams' new album reflects his elation at returning to the stage. He admitted that during the lockdown, he had doubts about whether his live music career would continue. He believed that if he never performed again, he had already had a successful career. However, his spirits were lifted when he had the opportunity to perform last month, and the experience was nothing short of joyous.
    Adams has a backup plan in case his music career ever comes to an end. He is a fellow of the Royal Photographic Society and has gained recognition for his work as a photographer. In fact, his photography was chosen to be featured in this year's prestigious Pirelli calendar, where he photographed famous singers. Adams initially took up photography to document his tours, but he later expanded to capture the aftermath of war, particularly the portraits of British soldiers injured in Iraq and Afghanistan.
    The interviewer asked Adams about his thoughts on photographers who are currently documenting the war in Ukraine. Adams replied that there have always been people on the front line, driven by a desire to capture and share such moments with the world. He praised these photographers for their courage and the truth they bring to the public. Adams acknowledged that a single photograph can often encapsulate an entire event or era.
    When asked if he would participate in a charity concert, Adams mentioned his past involvement in events like Live Aid and expressed his belief in the importance of such initiatives. He hinted that there might be a charity concert organized for Ukraine, but didn't provide specific details.
    Adams is now preparing to go back on tour, bringing his music to fans once again. His ability to adapt and pursue other creative outlets, such as photography, demonstrates his resilience and versatility as an artist.
    In conclusion, Bryan Adams' journey through the pandemic highlighted the uncertainty he faced regarding his live music career. However, his recent return to the stage has brought him immense joy and gratitude. Adams' passion for photography has also been a significant part of his life, enabling him to capture moments both in the music industry and the aftermath of war. Overall, Adams' experiences reinforce the importance of resilience and the ability to find alternate avenues when faced with unexpected challenges.

  • Lockdown Left him thinking his live music career could be over, and he's grateful to be back.
  • I actually thought to myself, wow, this could be it.
  • There was a time last year I really thought, well, if that's the end of the gigs, then I had good innings.
  • But thankfully, last month we played and everybody came out and it was, I mean, quite joyous.
  • He would have had his photography to fall back on.
  • Adams, now a fellow of the Royal Photographic Society, his work displayed around the world, was chosen to shoot famous singers for this year's prestigious Pirelli calendar.
  • Starting photography to document his tours, he's also documented the aftermath of war with portraits of British soldiers injured in Iraq and Afghanistan.
  • What do you think about those photographers who are actually out photographing war in Ukraine right now?
  • There's always been people that are on the front line, that are there, that they have this sort of lust to try and capture that moment and really experience that and bring it to the world.
  • And they're extraordinarily brave people and we're lucky to have people that want to give us the truth like that.
  • And sometimes one picture can speak for the entire time that this would happen.
  • One photograph.
  • You'd be happy to take part in a charity concert if there were to be a major one organised?
  • I've done lots and lots of things like that in the past, you know, that's, you know, going back to Live Aid, you know, and I think it's very good to have, to do those things.
  • And there may be one, you know, there may still be one pending for Ukraine, we'll see.
  • Meanwhile, Bryan Adams is heading back out on the road.
