MULTI-PLATINUM recording artist Bryan Adams has hit the road with The Get Up Tour in support of his latest album Get Up.

The 10-date arena tour includes a date at Bournemouth International Centre next Friday April 29.

His thirteenth studio album, Get Up (UMe) is 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.

Get Up is a solid collection of beautifully-crafted rock songs, from the fast and furious up-tempo tracks such as lead song ‘Brand New Day’, ‘You Belong To Me’ and ‘Thunderbolt’ to the gentler songs like, ‘Don’t Even Try’ and ‘We Did It All’, plus the Adams-produced alternative acoustic versions, highlighting his unique voice and depth.

“It came together quite organically” recalls Adams “song by song, working with Jeff producing over the past couple of years whenever he had time. It was a great partnership as it gave me plenty of time to write the songs, most of which are collaboration with Jim Vallance. We all worked primarily over the internet from Canada, Europe and LA, sending demos and parts of songs until we got it right.”

"I've always been a big fan of Bryan so getting to work with him was a great pleasure”, says Jeff “Bryan would send me a demo across the internet, then I would play most of the instruments to make a finished backing track and send it back to him in England. There he would put the lead vocal on to the song and send it back to me in California. 5,400 miles apart! And it's turned out to be a rockin' album!"

”There is a carefree feeling about this album”, adds Adams “and in many ways it is the album I wish I'd been able to make 25 years ago”.
