Bryan Adams is a rock music legend. 

With 16 albums under his belt, he’s estimated to have sold between 75 million and 100 million records and singles during his 45 year career. 

His most recent album, ‘Roll with the Punches’, harkens back to his earlier releases, with the rock sound that’s made him so popular over the years. 

And off the back of an extensive string of international dates, Adams is bringing his ‘Roll with the Punches Tour’ to New Zealand next March. 

Adams has seen major success, but his drive to create has never waned. 

“I’m not one of those people that sort of, rests on my laurels and is just sort of quite happy to go back and do the same thing over and over,” he told Jack Tame. 

“I enjoy the creativity and I really like, you know, putting songs together.” 

“I’ve still got the melodies in my head, so I gotta get them out.”

Emerging Kiwi musician Isla Noon has remixed and revamped her first album. 

‘Out of Body’ was released in 2025, and explored themes of identity and detachment through a combination of synth heavy electronic pop and delicate vocals. 

‘Out of Body (REDUX)’ was made in collaboration with producer Justyn Pilbrow, taking seven tracks from the original album and pushing the electronic sound harder. 

Chris Schulz joined Jack Tame to share his thoughts on the EP.

"Jetting into Vanuatu across the sapphire sea and the crisp palette of lagoon blues, all the hues of your tropical holiday dreams stretch out to greet you. After taking in the delights of Port Vila, head out of town for some rewarding encounters. For a sweet burst of soft adventure, jaunt to the Mele Cascades, about 15 minutes north of town. It is a wonderland of waterfalls. A twenty minute walk through lush and fragrant native bush leads you to the most sublime 35 metre high waterfall and gin-clear rock pools."

"I highly recommend experiencing the unspoilt bliss of Lelepa Island, which looms on the west side of Efate’s Havannah Harbour. Day tours are slickly operated by Lelepa islanders, packaging a kaleidoscope of authentic experiences and insights into one magical day."

One Of Us Is Guilty by Steve Cavanagh  

Patrick Vanderpool, son of a billionaire media mogul, is destined for power. But the affair he's having could ruin everything.  

Vanessa Vanderpool, married to one of America's most influential men, has her own ambitions. But the affair he's having could ruin everything. 

When the other woman is found brutally murdered, there are only two suspects...  

One of them is guilty. But which one?  

Conman turned defence lawyer Eddie Flynn must risk his life to find out... 

  

The Nowhere Boy by Anne Cleary  

A child disappears in broad daylight—and no one sees a thing. 

Three-year-old Oliver, known as Apple Man, vanishes from a remote car park while his young father, Scott, carries fishing gear down to the beach. When he returns, the car is empty. His son has vanished without a trace. 

Apple Man's mother, Fae, gets the call that shatters her life. Enraged with her ex, Scott and drowning in her own guilt, she is pulled back into Scott's orbit as police launch a desperate search across a wild coastline and dense pine forest. With every hour that passes, the case tightens around them—and the question no parent can bear to answer grows louder: what if he's never coming back? 

Far from the search, a grieving woman convinces herself she's been given a second chance. Tessa has lost three babies and the future she believed was hers. When she encounters a small, abandoned boy, she sees not a crime, but a miracle she cannot surrender. As the hunt intensifies, her fragile fantasy of motherhood begins to unravel. 

As the pressure continues to mount, everyone involved is forced to confront the same terrifying question: when love becomes possession, how far is too far?
