Grammy Award winner Bryan Adams is one heck of a hard-rockin' musician and a photographer extraordinaire to boot—this Renaissance man has even helped PETA with our own celebrity photo shoots. During his nearly three decades of entertaining the masses, his talents have garnered him 13 Grammy nominations; five Golden Globe nominations for songs he wrote for films, including the film Bobby; and three Oscar nominations. He's recorded hits such as "Straight From the Heart," "Heaven," and "Summer of '69"—a karaoke favorite 'round here!
He's also a vegan, and he's been one for quite some time—17 years to be exact! He says he gets the energy and endurance he needs to put on a rockin' show largely from the food he puts into his body.
Sadly, his tour isn't taking him to any U.S. venues this year, but you can check out his new veggie testimonial right here!

Yes, it's safe to say you won't find this Canadian scarfing down an unhealthy, cruelty-filled bucket of fried chicken. In fact, you might remember that the Kingston, Ontario–born rocker spoke out against most of the KFCs in Canada before the new animal welfare standards were adopted there. To adopt a cruelty-free diet just like Bryan's, you can order your very own "Vegetarian Starter Kit" right here.
Too bad you're not coming to the U.S. this go-around, Bryan, but we'll keep our fingers crossed for next time.

Hmm, Bryan has performed numerous concerts in the U.S. in 2008 already, and is scheduled to play more acoustic gigs in November/December.

I love when PETA reaches out to the coolest celebs and musicians. Congrats on the letter to Close, congrats on your relationship with Adams, and especially lots of hugs for the Obama victory. What an amazing summer.

I remember when Bryan Adams first came out on the music scene in Canada. You could tell that this was a man who would not be denied, and I found his drive very inspiring. He's in good company with a lot of other veg and vegan musicians. (For example, his great, and very melodic, lead guitarist, Keith Scott, is veg.)
