Exclusive: Bryan Adams On Performing In India For 6th Time: "The Warmth Of The Indian Audience Keeps Me Coming Back"

Canadian rock legend Bryan Adams is all set to return to India this December with his much-anticipated So Happy It Hurts tour. This tour marks his sixth visit to India, following previous successful tours in 1993-1994, 2001, 2006, 2011, and 2018. In an exclusive interview with NDTV's Hardika Gupta, the legendary singer spoke about his enduring connection with India, the creative process behind his music and the impact of his timeless tracks.

When asked about his excitement to perform in India, Bryan Adams shared, "The warmth of the Indian audience is what keeps me coming back. The energy at every concert is unmatched."

Adams has been at the forefront of global music for decades, and his ability to keep his music fresh remains a key part of his success. "I adapt by staying true to what I love about music while also exploring new ways to make it relevant. The diversity of India, with its rich culture, has played a significant role in his creative evolution. "India's cultural diversity influences me to constantly evolve and connect with different audiences, making every performance special," he said.

Reflecting on his Indian fans, Adams spoke about the unique energy they bring to his performances. "India's diversity makes each concert unique. When I perform here, it's all about embracing the local energy and connecting with people on a deeper level." His connection to his Indian fanbase goes beyond music, as he's always been captivated by the country's culture. "The people, the food, and the culture are what I love the most about India. Every visit, I make sure to explore new places and enjoy the local delicacies."

Adams' iconic tracks, such as Summer of '69 and Everything I Do (I Do It for You), have continued to resonate with fans across generations. When asked what makes these songs stand the test of time, he attributed their lasting appeal to their universal themes. "Songs like Summer of '69' and Everything I Do have stood the test of time because they speak to universal emotions. They're about love, youth, and longing, things that never change, no matter the generation," he said.

As an artist, he acknowledged the emotional weight his songs carry now, compared to when they first came out. "Playing these songs now is a different experience. The emotional weight of the lyrics feels even deeper with time, and it's incredible to see how the songs have become a part of so many people's lives," he shared.

Bryan Adams' songwriting process has remained remarkably consistent over the years. "I still write songs the way I did when I started-spontaneously, based on feelings and moments," he explained. For him, it's always about "capturing that initial spark and letting the song evolve naturally".

Looking back at his remarkable career, Adams reflected on songs that have defined his legacy. "Reckless and Summer of 69 are probably the songs most associated with my legacy. They represent who I am as an artist," he said.

Despite an extensive career, Adams remains open to new musical experiences. "I'm always open to collaborating with new artists from different genres. There's always room to experiment, and I'm excited about what the future holds in terms of new sounds and collaborations," he concluded.

ICYDK, the 64-year-old singer will kick off his five-city tour on December 10, covering Shillong, Gurugram, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad.

Abhijeet Is Furious (Once Again) For Not Being Credited In Woh Ladki Jo Sabse After Dua Lipa's Mashup Performance: "It's Not SRK..."

Dua Lipa brought her Radical Optimism tour to India with a spectacular performance in Mumbai on Saturday. Among the many highlights of the concert, one moment stood out – the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter performed a mashup of her hit song Levitating and Shah Rukh Khan's iconic track Woh Ladki Jo from Baadshah. The mashup quickly went viral, garnering widespread media coverage and making headlines everywhere. Now, the moment has sparked discontent from singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya, who originally lent his voice to Woh Ladki Jo. The star's son, singer Jay Bhattacharya, also expressed disappointment over his father not being given due credit. He pointed out that none of the media coverage mentioned his father's name while reporting on the mashup. Abhijeet Bhattacharya even reshared some statements on his Instagram Stories to express his dissatisfaction.

Abhijeet Bhattacharya first reposted a note, originally shared by Jay Bhattacharya. It read, “The problem is that no one talks about it. What happened to Woh ladki jo - Abhijeet? Unfortunately, we live in a country where not one news outlet or Instagram page has mentioned the VOICE and the artist of this song. Why has it always been about actors in this country? I'm sure when Dua Lipa heard this song she must've heard it and not seen it and appreciated the man that has sung this song and yes it is not SRK. It is Abhijeet Bhattacharya and composed by Anu Malik.”

The note continued, “I am sorry but this song is called Woh Ladki Jo Sabse Alag Hai - Abhijeet wherever you search it. But somehow the media in this country never lets a singer get his due and then people ask me why don't you try and sing for Bollywood. This is not about Shah Rukh Khan. I am his biggest fan ever. This is about our audience and our media who don't support the singers of our country like they do in the West.”

“Song is hit and popular because of legends like Abhijeet & Anu Malik!!” read another note shared by Abhijeet Bhattacharya.

A post shared by the singer read, “Internet goes crazy today as my Classic met Masses.”

Jay Bhattacharya also shared a video of Dua Lipa's performance on his Instagram handle. Taking a stand for his father, he wrote: “My father does his riyaaz every morning and works hard every day to go out there and perform songs live on stage everyday for his fans since last 35 years. Show some respect.”

This is not the first time Abhijeet Bhattacharya has voiced his grievances about not receiving proper credit for his songs in Shah Rukh Khan's films. Over the years, the veteran singer has repeatedly brought up this issue, pointing out instances where his contributions were overlooked. In an interview with Pinkvilla in June, Abhijeet addressed the matter once again, saying, “This is something Shah Rukh Khan knows very well. There's no difference between us; our birthdays are just one day apart. We have the same nature, We both know what we're going to be. If I go to him today, I can tell him, as his senior by 6-7 years, Enough of the drama, you are a star and always will be. But if I come back into the picture, then it will be me, not him.”

Abhijeet Bhattacharya continued, “Kabhi aisa lagta hai ki wo bhi aisa aadmi hai ki itraata hai.. Ya toh uske pass bilkul waqt nahi hai.. Lekin wo aisa nahi hai, mai apne aap ko janta hu toh usko bhi bhot acche se janta hu, jabki mera koi close bond nahi, lekin usko itna pata hai ki muje chot phochi hai. [Sometimes it feels like he is the type of person who shows off… or maybe he just doesn't have any time. But he isn't like that. I know myself very well, and I know him very well too, even though we don't have a close bond. He knows that I have been hurt.]” Click here to read about Abhijeet and Shah Rukh Khan's tiff in detail.

Abhijeet Bhattacharya is known for lending his voice to numerous iconic Bollywood tracks. His memorable songs include Zara Sa Jhoom Loon Mein (Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge), Hum To Deewane Huye Yaar (Baadshah), Chori Chori Sapno Mein (Chori Chori Chupke Chupke), Mere Khyaloon Ki Malika (Josh) and Tauba Tumhare Yeh Ishaare (Chalte Chalte), among others.

Veteran Voice Artist Morgan Lofting Dies At 81

Veteran voice actor Morgan Lofting is no more. She was most recognised for her role as the Baroness, the vicious Cobra senior intelligence officer who caused mayhem in the G.I. Joe animated series and films. As per The Hollywood Reporter, Lofting died on Wednesday at her home in Burbank, her agents Nery Lemus and Christopher Arsaga of CelebWorx announced.

"As one of the 10 founding actors at our agency, she meant the world to us and our company," they said in a statement.

The voice actress also portrayed Aunt May and the Black Cat for a 1981-82 Spider-Man series and Moonracer and Firestar for a 1985 Transformers series, and she did voice work on the Arnold Schwarzenegger-starring Total Recall (1990), too.

Lofting came up with a European accent for the dark-haired Baroness, a sexy master of disguise and expert in weapons and hand-to-hand combat who sported black-rimmed eyeglasses and a tight black leather outfit.

She voiced the terrorist in G.I. Joe miniseries in 1983, '84 and '89; for four seasons of two series that aired in 1985-86 and 1990-91; in the 1986 TV movie G.I. Joe: Arise, Serpentor, Arise!; and in 1987's straight-to-video G.I. Joe: The Movie.

In 1989, she went back to college to finish her bachelor's degree and then earned her master's in history at Cal State Northridge. She later found a love of "bartending with books," as she called it, as a librarian.

She returned to voice acting in 2013 by playing the former villain Fistina on Ben 10: Omniverse, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Lofting, 84, is survived by her brother, Tim, his wife, Lynn, and their son, Brian; her son, Justin, and his wife, Stacie; and her grandchildren, Zac and Ellie.
