Adams closed his message with a warm New Year’s wish — asking followers to send peace and happiness into the coming year, and to remember people who are less fortunate.
H2: Where this fits in Adams’ career
At 66, Bryan Adams continues to produce new music and tour internationally. He first gained mainstream attention in the early 1980s with albums like Cuts Like a Knife (1983) and the multi-platinum Reckless (1984), which featured hits such as “Summer of ’69,” “Run to You” and “Heaven.”
Tough Town marks the latest chapter in a career that has spanned four decades, from Adams’ early days fronting Sweeney Todd to his long run as a solo singer-songwriter. The new release will be watched closely by critics and fans who expect Adams’ trademark mix of emotive ballads and rock anthems.
