He’s 53 now, but the Canadian rocker (who now lives in the U.K.) can still make romantics feel young again with classic cuts like “Heaven” and “(Everything I Do) I Do It For You.” Adams goes acoustic for this “Bare Bones” show.

Not to be mistaken for a low-key acoustic duo show, the ’80s rock queen is sharing the marquee with her husband/guitarist Giraldo, who’s always been an integral part of her band. It promises to be an intimate, still rocking, full band show.
