Bryan Adams remembers his visit to Egypt

CAIRO – 18 May 2020: Veteran Canadian singer Bryan Adams posted a photo on his official Instagram account when he was in Egypt 22 years ago.

"Back in 1998 at the Pyramids in Giza, Egypt. (I wonder if you can still ride horses around the pyramids, it was such a great experience). This photo reminds me of such a different time, thank goodness for photos; otherwise I’d have lost this memory. I was about to take my band out as a three piece (my favourite tour ever) when I was on bass guitar," Adams captioned the photo.

Adams is a Canadian singer, songwriter, record producer, guitarist, photographer, philanthropist, and activist who was born on November 5, 1959.

He rose to fame in Canada and the United States with "Cuts Like a Knife" album which was released in 1983.

His stardom came with his album "Reckless" which was released in 1984 and housed some of his best known songs, including "Run to You", "Summer of '69", and his first number one, "Heaven".

In 1991, he released the album "Waking up the Neighbours" which included the song "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You". The song became a worldwide hit and reached number 1 in many countries, including a new record of 16 consecutive weeks in the United Kingdom.

Adams also had the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 number-one hit singles "Please Forgive Me", "All for Love" and "Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman?"
