SOME say he is the nicest guy in rock - but there's no doubting Dubai-bound guitar hero Bryan Adams is man who dispenses his work with a smile.
DON'T FRET: Bryan Adams in heading to Dubai in 2017
Armed with a new bunch of anthems to refresh a career that stretches back a generation of contagious hits, the Canadian is back in the musical saddle after years out pursuing a significant side career as a photographer.
Adams returned to the airwaves last year with his 13th album, Get Up, and is bringing his world tour of the same name to the Autism Rocks Arena on March 9.
As arguably his country's best-known ambassador, the man they nicknamed the 'groover from Vancouver' has spent the last three decades making music history.
He has sold upwards of 65 million records, toured six continents and achieved number status in at least 40 countries around the world.
During that time the guitarist and singer has also been nominated for Academy Awards and Golden Globes and is the owner of a Grammy Award. He has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and has been inducted into Wembley's Square of Fame, not least as a long-time resident of London.

UP AND ADAMS: The Canadian clocks in for a Dubai return in the spring of 2017
Always a keen photographer, Adams has built a second career in recent years with some stunning images across a number of mediums. That has included admired shots of celebrities and models, including the likes of Bollywood star Priyanka Chopra, as well as covers for albums by other musicians, such as friend of MustDoDubai.com Helen Boulding.
But Adams remains for most of us the gravely voice behind classic rockers Summer of 69, Cuts Like A Knife, and Run To You, as well as mellower hits Heaven and Robin Hood Prince of Thieves epic title tune Everything I Do (I Do It For You).
Get Up was produced by famed ELO frontman Jeff Lynne and co-written with his long-time collaborator Jim Vallance. The album features nine new songs and four acoustic versions.
