To begin with, Adams parents divorced when he was a small child. Being eight, he started writing short stories, then as a teenager he became interested into creating songs. At the age of 16, he dropped out of high school with a view to pursue a career in music. Adams alongside his friend Wilko have released three albums under the name of their band Whiskeytown; Afterwards, Adams decided to pursue a solo career. In 2000, he released the debut album “Heartbreaker”. However, his breakthrough came with his album “Gold” (2001) which is associated with the single “New York, New York”. Afterwards, he brought “Demolition” (2002) out, which entered the music charts in the USA and many European countries. In the winter of 2003, he came up with the idea to use rock from the 1970s and 1980s, moreover influences of U2 can be heard. Simultaneously several EPs like “Love Is Hell Part 1” and “Love Is Hell Part 2” appeared, including the studio album released under the same name. Adams is considered exceptionally productive, which has a positive impact of his net worth, too.
After a broken wrist in the spring of 2004 (at a concert in Liverpool, he fell off the stage) the double album “Cold Roses”, albums “Jacksonville City Nights” and “29” were released in 2005. The trilogy is seen as a high point in his career. In October, he again gave a concert in Paradiso, which however this time ended in booing and the throwing of beer glasses after Adams stormed off stage halfway through a numbe, not to return. A few days later, however, he gave an outstanding performance at the Take Root Festival. In mid-2007, Adams released the next album, entitled “Easy Tiger”. The same year he won the Q Award, in the category of Q Merit Awards. In the summer of 2011, Adams gave a short series of solo concerts in Europe, then in October 2011, a new studio album entitled “Ashes & Fire”, produced by Glyn Johns appeared. This was another typical singer-songwriter album with acoustic guitar, piano, light drums and the voice of Adam. It is worth mentioning the fact that Adams has been nominated for Grammy Awards five times, although none of them won.
Finally, in the personal life of the singer and songwriter, he married the singer and actress Mandy Moore in 2009, but at the beginning of 2015, the two announced that they had decided to divorce, without revealing any details.
