"But at this point in Adams's career, he's come to realize everything he does should be a true celebration of his music, and he won't settle for anything less. How utterly Canadian of him. "It's so joyous to be up there with everybody," he explains. "I mean, not just my band, but with everybody that's coming to the shows. The only thing that's missing is a Kool & the Gang song.""
"Adams is currently on the road for his 16th - yes, 16th - studio album, Roll With the Punches, which he says is the most personal one he's written yet. It's also his first album, at the age of 65, as an independent artist, a career milestone that he's still in disbelief over. "I don't have a manager," Adams tells me, "and I'm trying to work it all out on my own.""
He does not consider his ongoing performances to be a conventional tour and prefers to present true celebrations of his music. He performs hits including "Run to You" and ballads that evoke nostalgia. He is on the road supporting Roll With the Punches, his 16th studio album and his most personal record. He released the album independently at age 65 and is managing his career without a manager. He has sold about 100 million records and is on a sold-out arena run. He feels overlooked within the rock fraternity and recalls realizing potential while recording "Lonely Nights" in New York at 21.
