"I’m still proud to realize that these songs are staples. I enjoy hitting the road and the trust from fans to perform them is a big deal."

Adams has maintained a strong connection with his fans, appreciating their support deeply and handling requests for songs with care. His music transcends language barriers, helped by companies that cannot bring music exclusively, but aim to keep language and love alive.

"Since then, they’re here with us, and he’ll go on tour multiple times including returning to the country dates in December."

Adams admires other open music cultures and believes in the responsibility of radio record labels to their audiences.

Author's summary: Bryan Adams remains a celebrated artist in both the US and India, combining classic hits with ongoing tours and a strong fan connection worldwide.
