Bryan Adams is coming home -- well, at least for the duration of his long-overdue coast-to-coast Canadian tour this spring. The longtime Vancouverite, now living abroad in England, will bring his classic rock anthems back to his homeland on April 11, kicking off the 20-date arena tour on the far side of the country in St. John's, Nfld.

A tour like this is sure to bring out all walks of life. Everyone from blue-collar cougars and classic-rock revivalists to the Gen Xers and baby boomers who remember when he ruled radio will want to grab their first real six-string and get their 'Summer of '69' on.

Adams has indeed toured Canada in recent years in support of 2010's acoustic 'Bare Bones,' but it's been ages since the 'Cuts Like a Knife' rocker delivered his booming hits on a full-fledged arena rock tour.
