Bryan Adams Tweets About His Pro-Brexit, EU Referendum Leanings (Yep, The Canadian Singer)

The only thing that looks good on me is EU.

Forget Boris, Dave or your mate down the pub, the one person whose opinion on Brexit you really wanted has finally spoken.

Brexit: Are you in or out? Does the UK really want to be governed by people that are unelected?

What? You couldn't care less what a 56-year-old Canadian singer currently taking advantage of the Schengen Agreement and touring Europe unimpeded has to say on the future of Britain?

@bryanadams Please keep to soundtracking films about men in tights rather than offering your uninformed political views.

Bryan Adams spouting off about Brexit. Dale Winton giving it large about Trump. What next? Wee Jimmy Krankie to become UN secretary general?

To be fair to Mr Adams, he did spark quite a debate, with many people agreeing with his political leanings...

@bryanadams I would prefer not to be dictated to by the corrupt unelected elite in brussels and Strasbourg.

@bryanadams Out! You're right that EU Commission and Council aren't elected. Vote Brexit!

This chap is so out he said it twice, like the imagined lyrics of a dreary EU-regulated Hokey Cokey.

@bryanadams @LeaveEUOfficial I'm out out.

And of course, the Remain camp were represented, some cramming not only their take on Brexit into 140 characters but also some choice musical critique.

@bryanadams EU law decided by Council of European Union (Elected Heads of Gov/State) & elected European Parliament. Plus your music is shite

Brutal.

Perhaps though, it's all a nifty ploy.

The line up for the anti-Europe Bpop Live concert took a severe hit yesterday when it's pre-Maastricht era lineup bailed due to the threat of appearing onstage with Nigel Farage's actual face.

Sister Sledge and East 17 followed Alesha Dixon and 5ive in announcing they would be withdrawing from the event that Farage had tipped as the “biggest rally in modern British political history”.

Only ex-Rose Royce singer Gwen Dickey is still confirmed to perform, unless Bryan has some free time....

A late bid for an appearance at the Brexit concert? https://t.co/oGzfqvPG29

Tonight on #bbcqt Sister Sledge, Alesha Dixon, East 17, Bryan Adams, and Owen Jones.

It's a shame Bryan isn't batting for the pro-EU side though when you look at all the gloriously repetitive cliches he could work into his songs.

  • Run to EU
  • Everything I do I do it for EU
  • EU belong to me
  • Never let go (of closer economic integration)
  • Maastricht Summer of '93
  • The only thing that looks good on me is EU
  • I though I'd died and gone to Brussels
  • 8270 night love affair

We'll stop now. Over to you...

Someone tell Bryan Adams we can't stop this thing we started

Bryan Adams says that we shouldn't fight to stay in Europe. I say to him 'Don't tell me it's not worth fighting for'

— Ian 'The BT' Winter (@SimplyTheBT) May 26, 2016

But didn’t everything Bryan Adams do, he did it for EU?

— Amanda (@Pandamoanimum) May 26, 2016

Persuasive arguments by Bryan Adams, Dale Winton and David Icke, but I'm not making my mind up on #EUref until I've heard from Noel Edmonds.

— Brendan May (@bmay) May 26, 2016

Hmmm.. Bryan Adams thinks.. Sorry I've lapsed into a state of 'couldn't give a rats' I'm waiting for Showaddywaddy to wade in or Kajagoogoo.

After Dale Winton reveals support for Donald Trump, and Bryan Adams backs Brexit, Roland Rat dismisses man-made climate change as a hoax.
