Bryan Adams is big in India.

It seems semi-arbitrary, like Germans loving David Hasselhoff or the Japanese embracing Cheap Trick. But Adams, currently touring with Pat Benatar, said he was one of the most prominent early English-language pop artists to tour India in the mid-1990s.

He has returned to the country multiple times, including dates last December.

“I think they love the fact I helped open the door” for more English language acts to tour there, Adams, a native of Canada, told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “People love music no matter where they are. It’s your responsibility as a musician to bring it to them, which is why I keep touring. I can’t rely on record companies and radio and anything other than the fact I can go on tour and bring the music to the people.”
