Bryan Adams still uses public transport.

The 56-year-old singer may be a huge star around the world but he can still go about his daily business largely undetected.

He said: "I was on the 49 bus to Clapham Junction the other day and the lady next to me said, 'You look a lot like that fella... Are you Jamie Oliver?' "

But the '(Everything I Do) I Do It For You' singer doesn't always enjoy the travelling aspect of his career.

He said: "The best part is the actual performance, which usually lasts two hours at least.

"The rest of the time is spent travelling, going in and out of hotels, that's not always easy and things have got more difficult with heightened security etc, but that's the way of the world."

However, Bryan insists it's worth it as he loves performing live.

He said: "I can'[t wait for the next shows. My touring goes all year long around the world, I do 10 shows a month. It's what I do, I tour."

The Canadian rocker's most recent music video, 'You Belong To Me', featured him being hugged while he played guitar and he is hoping to bring more "silliness" into the world with his clips.

He told Britain's HELLO! magazine: "The whole idea was developed around being hugged and it's supposed to be absurd.

"All of my recent videos and photos have been great fun to make because they are so simple.

"I just shot a new video with David Walliams [for 'Don't Even Try'] which is very silly. I believe we need more silliness in the world."
