Adams touring native Canada for first time in 20 years

Rocker BRYAN ADAMS is heading home for his upcoming tour - he's set to hit the road in his native Canada for the first time in 20 years.

The Summer of '69 hitmaker's last full tour in the country was in 1992, but he's set to thrill fans with a new round of shows this year (12) - and he's overjoyed about his homecoming.

In a post on his Twitter.com page, he writes, "Excited about the Canadian tour! 20 years since the last cross country tour. (have done lots of CDN tours, but not like this, coast to coast)."

Adams will kick off the tour in St. John's, Newfoundland on 11 April (12) and play his final gig in Winnipeg, Manitoba on 22 June (12).
