Bryan Adams - The Forty First Anniversary Of Bryan Adams Self-Titled Debut Album.
By Andrew Lockwood in Music / Festivals on 12 February 2021
Contact Music takes a look back at where it all began for Bryan Adams as we remember his debut album from 1980.
Way, way back in the February of 1980 one twenty year old Bryan Adams released his eponymous debut album, paving the way for the start of his illustrious and plentiful career in music. Having already been in a couple of bands, as well as being signed as a songwriter, Adams already had a good foundation from which to launch his solo act. Working with fellow song writer Jim Vallance, a partnership that had formed and flourished between the two during their time together in their former band Prism, Adams and Jim co-wrote most of the album's songs.
The Canadian singer-songwriter, producer, photographer and philanthropist with British heritage had been in previous bands, including Sweeney Todd, from the age of 15 and had signed to A&M records for the princely sum of $1 in 1978. In 1979 after writing most of the songs together with Vallance, Adams began to record his debut album towards the end of the year. Although it wasn't his breakthrough album, that would come a few years later with 1983's Cuts Like A Knife, it was the start of what would become something quite phenomenal.

Bryan Adams Announces Cancellation Of Mississippi Show Over "Extremely" Discriminatory Anti-LGBT Law
By Ed Biggs in Music / Festivals on 11 April 2016
'The Groover from Vancouver' has followed The Boss by boycotting a show in protest over anti-LGBT laws.
Bryan Adams has followed Bruce Springsteen’s lead by cancelling a scheduled show in protest against an “incomprehensible” anti-LGBT law that allows businesses in the state of Mississippi to refuse to serve gay people, or any section of society that offends a “sincerely held religious belief”.
The star, on tour promoting his new album Get Up!, announced on Sunday that he’s scrapping his show at Biloxi’s Mississippi Coast Coliseum on Thursday (April 14th) in protest at the ‘Religious Liberty’ bill 1523 being signed into law by the state recently. It allows not only religiously-affiliated organisations but also individuals, state employees and businesses to refuse to serve any other individual who somehow offends a religious sensibility.
