Bio provenant d'un site canadien:

Bryan Adams. Auteur-compositeur-interprète, guitariste, photographe (Kingston, Ontario, 5 novembre 1959). Il grandit en Angleterre, en Israël, au Portugal et en Autriche. Lorsqu'il a 15 ans, sa famille s'établit à Vancouver où, un an plus tard, il succède à Nick Gilder comme chanteur du groupe rock Sweeney Todd avec lequel il enregistre le 33 tours If Wishes Were Horses (Lon PS-694). À 18 ans, il amorce une collaboration avec le parolier Jim Vallance : quelques premiers fruits de cette collaboration sont enregistrés par Prism et Loverboy, deux clients de Bruce Allen qui va devenir le gérant d'Adams en 1979.
Son premier 45 tours, « Let Me Take You Dancing », est un grand succès de discothèque en 1979; il est suivi des albums (sous étiquette A & M) Bryan Adams (SP-4800) en 1980 et You Want It - You Got It (SP-4864) en 1981. « Fits Ya Good », un autre de ses premiers 45 tours, connaît la popularité en 1982. Avec le disque Cuts Like a Knife (SP-4919) paru en 1983, la popularité d'Adams monte en flèche. Les 45 tours « Cuts Like a Knife », « Straight From the Heart » et « This Time » sont tous des succès internationaux en 1983, suivis, de 1984 à 1986 par « Run to You », « Somebody », « Heaven », « Summer of 69 », « One Night Love Affair » et « It's Only Love » (duo avec Tina Turner), chansons qui figurent toutes sur Reckless (SP-5013). Un cinquième album, Into the Fire (SP-3907), paru en 1987, inclut les succès plus modestes « Heat of the Night », « Heart's on Fire » et « Victim of Love ».
La carrière d'interprétation d'Adams se met en place petit à petit. Il se produit d'abord dans des clubs au Canada en 1980, puis il fait les premières parties de tournées canadiennes et américaines avec Loverboy, Foreigner, Journey et d'autres à partir de 1983. En 1985, il a donné des spectacles en Europe et est en tête d'affiche de représentations dans des arénas et des stades (p. ex. au Pacific Coliseum de Vancouver, au Madison Square Garden de New York et au stade de l'Exposition nationale canadienne). Adam entreprend une deuxième tournée européenne (en première partie de Tina Turner) en 1985. Après le lancement de Recklesset de Into the Fire, il y donne de nombreux spectacles, tout comme au Japon. Live in Belgium, un documentaire sur un concert filmé en juillet 1988 devant un public de 50 000 personnes à Werchter, est télédiffusé le 15 janvier 1989 par la SRC.
Son 33 tours suivant, Waking up the Neighbours (A & M 75201-5367), qui paraît en 1991, inclut « (Everything I Do) I Do it for You ». La chanson, tirée du film Robin Hood : Prince of Thieves (v.f. Robin des Bois, prince des voleurs), est et le plus grand succès de Brian Adams à ce jour, dont le 45 tours se vend à quelque sept millions d'exemplaires et ce partout dans le monde. Elle est no 1 durant sept semaines aux États-Unis et durant quatre mois au Royaume-Uni et, à ce moment-là, elle brise le record de la chanson la plus vendue chez A&M Records, ce qui vaut à l'album Neighbours d'être triple-platine.
Pour cet album, le gérant d'Adams, Robert John « Mutt » Lange, devient son partenaire de composition et reçoit une partie des droits d'auteur sur chaque chanson. L'album établit aussi le modus operandi d'Adams pour le reste des années 1990 : la sortie d'une chanson à thème romantique tous les 2-3 ans, associée à la trame sonore d'un long-métrage. Par exemple, il connaît un grand succès avec le single de 1993 « All For Love » (une chanson platine chantée par Sting et Rod Stewart, de la trame sonore de The Three Musketeers, v.f. Les trois mousquetaires) et avec le grand succès de 1995 « Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman? ». En 2002, ils sont suivis d'un album des chansons du film d'animation Spirit : Stallion Of The Cimarron (v.f. Spirit : L'étalon des plaines).

Après Waking Up The Neighbours (fort sympathique), Bryan Adams a choisi la facilité en proposant pas mal de ballades et là, ça le faisait un peu moins que d'hab (difficile de succéder à Everything I Do I Do It For You qui a marqué le film Robin des Bois Prince des Voleurs)...

Mais j'ai une question simple : s'agit-il d'un homonyme ou est-il le Bryan Adams qui a co-écrit des titres du Creatures Of The Night de Kiss ?
