Bryan, RJ Lange, and Michael Kamen wrote a song for the 1996 film, 101 Dalmations. The song was not used in the film, however, but is available on Adams' "18 Til I Die" album.

Refused to allow his song "Only the Strong Survive", from his album "Into the Fire", to be used for the film Top Gun (1986), because he felt that the movie glorified war.

Most recently, Bryan's focus has been on supporting breast cancer. After contributing a song to an album and campaign to help find a cure for breast cancer with Self Magazine in America, he went on to organizing a benefit concert in Canada early in 1998 and raised over a million dollars to build a breast-screening center at the St. Catherine's General Hospital with supermodel Linda Evangelista.

On his world tour of 92/93/94 he helped created the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary, by issuing over half a million postcards to the fans at the shows, encouraging them to write and send them to Governments opposed to the sanctuary.

Bryan Adams is a vegetarian.

Current girlfriend can be seen in at least two of his videos -- "Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman?" and "Let's Make A Night To Remember"

Adams may be Canada's most successful pop/rock singer, but his parents were both British citizens and he currently resides in Britain. However, he still has a studio in Canada.

Adams' fourth album, Reckless, is the best-selling Canadian album of all time. He received the Diamond Sales Award (equivalent of a platinum award in the US) for the album, a first for a Canadian.

Has been nominated for 13 Grammy nominations. Recorded "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You" in Spanish in 1992. Has received the Order of Canada and the Order of British Columbia for outstanding Canadian citizenship.

Adams' 1991 album was declared "non-Canadian" at the time, because some of the songs were co-authored by RJ Lange, who's British. The regulations later changed and Waking Up The Neighbours was declared a Canadian album.

Refuses to attend the Juno Awards (Canada's equivalent of the Grammys) because they, according to his manager, Bruce Allen, "turned their back on the biggest thing to come out" of Canada (referring to Adams' hit "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You").

In 1976 joined replaced the lead singer of a band called Sweeney Todd. He recorded saveral songs for them before leaving the band in 1977. On those recordings, his voice was speeded up so it didn't sound so raspy.

Of his #1 hits, only one ("Please Forgive Me") was not written for a motion picture.

The title theme to the film A Night in Heaven (1983) was recorded at the time of the film's release, and at the time, his third album, Cuts Like A Knife, yielded several Top 10 hits. The song was later included in his fourth album, Reckless (1984), which later became a Top 10 hit. The same album also has a duet with Tina Turner titled "It's Only Love."
