"no groupies no nothin, just 16 guys with machine guns with the safety's off...ready to go incase anybody caused any trouble!". He also talks about the meeting they had with President Gen. Pervez Musharraf, Karachi airport and the dinner (which the military served!). In the press conference a girl stood up and she said to Bryan: *Girl:
I know you're going on tour, you're going from here to Qatar then over to Dubai
and into India. So... if you were asked a question "Pakistan is...?",
how would you finish it? ...according to Bruce they re-did it with Bryan saying "Pakistan is a nice place" before someone shot his head off! The
Lindsay Lohan story also made the conversation with Bruce. In actual fact Bryan
hasn't met Lindsay Lohan... the deal was a friend of his is a friend of hers and
seeing as they were in London they asked if they could stop at his house. The
DJ said he thought Bryan would have been upstairs in bed waiting for his breakfast
goin' "wow.... yeah, now that's room service!". Great interview! I love
Bruce he doesn't mix his words!... straight to the point! Belgian show added to the tour! - Bryan will play at the historic Werchter Festival on July 8th.

Management and Promoters are attempting to reschedule the Dubai show in the coming months. Instore signing session - Bryan will stop by 'Music World' in the Chinook Centre, Calgary for an instore signing on January 16th. Adams, who plays later that night at the Saddledome, will be on-hand from 4-5 p.m. signing copies of his recently released greatest hits collection 'Anthology'. Nanaimo show postponed - Bryan Adams’ much talked about Nanaimo concert to raise funds towards saving Mount Benson from development has been moved to August 2006. While the exact date has yet to be determined if will be an outdoor festival style concert. “Once we had our technical staff visit the Frank Crane Arena it became clear it was never designed to support the caliber of show that Bryan tours with,” said manager Bruce Allen. “We’ve got 4 semi-trailers of equipment and no means to do a proper load in. Logistically we could not put up a first class show with the restrictions inherent in a building that is geared for ice events. Even though it is a fund-raiser, those that are buying tickets to see Adams perform, are entitled to a first rate show. This could not be accomplished in the Frank Crane Arena.” The money raised by taking the show outdoors in the summer stands to be more significant, attracting not only locals but also visitors to the Island. “Bryan’s goal was to raise money to support The Nanaimo Area Land Trust in their efforts to purchase Mount Benson”, noted Allen. “The change in venue and time of year increases the likelihood of it being a successful venture. Details of the August concert will be announced in due course. source: ba.com Adams to rock for Mount Benson - Bryan will headline a Nanaimo benefit concert on January 21st. He agreed to appear at Frank Crane Arena to raise money for the Coalition to Save Mount Benson yesterday. "Bryan is very enthusiastic to kick off our campaign and to raise money for the mountain," said Gail Adrienne, a member of the coalition. Adams is scheduled to play in Victoria the night before as part of his cross-Canada tour, which started in 2005 and will end in February 2006. When Adrienne heard he was playing Victoria she called Adams's dad Conrad, who lives in Nanaimo, and asked for some help. The City of Nanaimo waived the rental fees for the arena and the rest fell into place, said Adrienne. Ticket prices and where to purchase them will be announced within the next few weeks. The money raised from the concert will be used to save Mount Benson from being logged by making it into a public park. Bryan
