“So Happy It Hurts” is the name of Bryan Adams’s latest album and current tour. The legendary Canadian singer, guitarist and songwriter performed at the Motorpoint Arena Nottingham on the 15th of May.

The setlist consisted of his classic hits, such as “Run To You”, “Heaven”, and “Here I Am”, as well as his newest tracks. When playing “(Everything I Do) I Do It For You” and “Summer of ’69”, the crowd was singing louder than Bryan himself. The atmosphere was filled with love and joy.

Bryan actively communicated with the audience and dedicated his song “Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman?” to Johnny Depp and “Rebel” to both of his grandfathers. Bryan took song requests from fans and encouraged people to dance. When playing the title track from his newest album, the inflatable flying car appeared above everyone’s heads, like the one from “So Happy It Hurts” music video. Bryan Adams’s performance was top-notch. He sounded incredible from start to finish and was enthusiastic and entertaining. Please see photos from his gig in Nottingham below:
