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.

Canadian Rocker Bryan Adams, a vegan and a friend of PETA who has donated his talent as a photographer to help us create our ads, took it upon himself this week to let John Bitove, the CEO of most KFCs in Canada, know exactly what he thinks about KFC suppliers' treatment of chickens. Adams said, "[Y]ou could set your company apart from KFC operators in the U.S. and elsewhere by eliminating the worst abuses on these birds, as … chickens killed for KFC in Canada are scalded to death in tanks of hot water, suffer broken wings and legs, and worse."

Thanks Bryan, for, um, "Everything You Do" (I'm going to be singing that song all week now).
