Zoe Ball Meets Bryan Adams

Following his epic headline performance at this year's Radio 2 in the Park in Chelmsford on September 6th, Zoe chats to Bryan about his amazing career and life.

Following his epic headline performance at this year's Radio 2 in the Park in Chelmsford on September 6th, another chance to hear Zoe chat in-depth to Bryan about his amazing career and life.

Zoe chats to Bryan about his early musical influences, his songwriting partnerships with Mutt Lange and Jim Vallance, and his friendships that have kept him grounded during the explosion of fame around his Reckless album. There are also a few surprises along the way with a 蜜芽传媒 archive performance and some very important questions from Bryan's collaborators and colleagues, one of which is the model Kate Moss!

Bryan Adams has had 26 UK Top 40 singles, including two UK number ones - including (Everything I Do) I Do It For You, which spent a record 16 weeks at the top of the charts in 1991! Nominated for three Oscars, winner of three Ivor Novellos and a Grammy, this month Bryan releases his 15th studio album, Roll With the Punches, on his own record label Bad Records.

Aside from his celebrated music career, Bryan is also a successful photographer. His subjects have included soldiers injured from wars, as well as a huge roster of famous faces: everyone from Amy Winehouse to Queen Elizabeth II, Judi Dench and the Radio 2 presenters! His work behind the lens was honoured with a fellowship of the Royal Photography Society in 2015.
