Bryan Adams: A Fretted Biography - The First Six Albums

Bryan Adams is a one man rockâ€™nâ€™roll success story: he went from washing dishes for $2.50 per hour to becoming a multi-millionaire by making music that people liked. Adamsâ€™ â€˜Recklessâ€™ album sold over 10 million units globally whilst his ballad â€˜Everything I Do (I Do It For You)â€™ cleared an impressive 7 million copies. He remains one of the worldâ€™s most popular rockers and a Canadian national hero.

In this detailed but accessible biography Mark Duffett explores Adamsâ€™ meteoric recording career, â€˜ordinary guyâ€™ persona, and unfolding political commitment. The supporting activities of his manager and record company are included to complete the picture. As a well-informed story of maximum rockâ€™nâ€™roll it constitutes essential reading material for true fans.

This book is a lightly revised edition of the title by the same name, first released in 1994.

Praise for the 1994 edition:

"Overviews of other Canadian bands and artists... are included in this interesting book. Bryan Adams' successes throughout the 1980s and 1990s are well documented... Duffett makes a point of praising Adams' songwriting abilities... Overall, Duffett's biography of the 'Groover from Vancouver' Bryan Adams is well written and a fine introduction to Adams' career for most fans".
Paul Bezanker in The Record / CD/ Cassette Collectors' Exchange, May 1995

"The book impresses with facts and figures. It also explores Adams' 'regular guy' image".
Fonorama, June 1995

"Bryan Adams, A Fretted Biography is something that you don't see very often... It also contains Canadian press information on the man that was previously unavailable in the UK".
