For 16 all too long weeks in 1991 Bryan Adams hung around like a lingering fart that just wouldn’t go away with his soppy Robin Hood song ‘Everything I Do, I Do It For You.’

Now, the Canadian soft-rocker is set to attempt another longevity feat by playing 11 gigs in 11 countries over 11 consecutive days.

Kicking off in Lisbon, Portugal on March 7 and winding up in Copenhagen 11 days later, the string of gigs are being held to celebrate the release of his new album ‘11’ through Polydor Records on March 17.

If you haven’t quite got your Bryan Adams fix from those dates, an exhibition of Bryan Adams’ photographs is being held at the National Portrait Gallery in London to coincide with the tour.

He plays:

• Lisbon Maxime – March 7
• Barcelona Espacio Movistar - 8
• Milan Theatre Metropol - 9
• Hamburg St Pauli Theatre - 10
• London St James Church - 11
• Paris Reservoir - 12
• Amsterdam De Koepelkerk - 13
• Brussels Vaudeville - 14
• Zurich Kaufletien Festaal - 15
• Vienna Birdland - 16
• Copenhagen Pakhus 11 – 17
