Bryan Adams and his girlfriend, Alicia Grimaldi welcomed their second baby girl, Lula Rosylea, in London, reported People. The rocker-turned-photographer told the mag that their new little bundle of joy was born during tea time, which influenced their name choice. "Rosylea is cockney rhyming slang in London for 'cup of tea'," he explained. "And the name Lula comes from Gene Vincent's song 'Be-Bop-A-Lula.'" Though no other information has been given about Adams' little girl, he did take to Twitter to give fans a bit of an update. Radio.com is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.

Artistfacts™: You can leave comments about the artist/band at the bottom of the page.
He grew up in Canada, but owns a house in London, where he lives when he is not on tour.
He is much more popular in Canada than the US. He plays much smaller venues when he tours in America.
Adams has done duets with Celine Dion, Bonnie Raitt, Barbra Streisand, Tina Turner, and Mel C. of the Spice Girls.
When he was 16, he quit school to make music.
Content regulations require Canadian radio stations to broadcast mostly Canadian artists. Adams 1991 album Waking Up The Neighbours was co-produced by Mutt Lange, so the government did not consider it Canadian and limited its airplay. Adams has protested the regulations, which have been relaxed, ever since. Canadian Content rules require radio stations to play 35% Canadian music between the hours of 6:00am and midnight.

Bryan had a small role in the movie Pink Cadillac.
He was named Canadian Artist Of The Decade for the '80s by the Canadian Recording Industry Association.
His father was a Canadian diplomat. Adams lived in many countries in Europe and Asia when he was young.
When he was 17, Adams became lead singer of Vancouver rock group Sweeney Todd.
In 1999, he released a book featuring photographs of Canadian women. Some of his subjects: Sara McLachlan, Neve Campbell, Alanis Morissette, Celine Dion, and Shania Twain. Proceeds went to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.
As he stated in an article in The Guardian, Adams is a vegan, meaning he eats no meat, cheese, milk or eggs. Says Adams: "I abide by the rule that if it looks like it's going to clog your system, it probably will." (thanks, Tom - Trowbridge, England)

Onya Bry!
Take last night - in the Hunter Valley vineyards, where he intro-ed a particular song by saying "A lot of people have ideas about what certain songs are about. There is a gross misconception about this song. It has NOTHIN' to do with the year 1969." When someone asked him "What's it about then?" he replied "You figure it out Honey!" He then very clearly sang "...me and my baby in a sixty nine..."
He also said "don't know what I was thinkin' when I wrote 'Everything I Do'"
