Bryan Adams Shares Reunion Story of First Guitar

Bryan Adams recently shared the true story behind his famous song 'Summer of '69' during an interview on the podcast 'I Never Thought It Would Happen.' Contrary to the song's lyrics suggesting he bought his first guitar at a Five and Dime, Adams revealed he actually received it from his uncle at a music shop in Reading, UK, when he was 12 years old. After moving frequently due to his father's job with the Canadian embassy, he left the guitar with a neighbor when his family relocated from Israel. Years later, he received an email from someone claiming to have found the guitar, but the communication went cold. A decade later, at a club in Berlin, a man approached him with the guitar, which had been passed down from the original emailer, who had died in a plane crash. Adams reflected on the joy of being reunited with the instrument, now a significant piece of his personal history.
