Bryan Adams Works in Mysterious Ways


Bryan Adams has achieved legendary status this year in the Kelley MBA Admissions Office. Essentially, we are all fascinated by the fact that, against all odds, he still has a substantial fan base around the world, especially in parts of Asia. In a nutshell, Bryan Adams is to India as David Hasselhof is to Germany. So, although the following story (uncovered by fellow Bryantastic fan Kevin Wickham) is amazing, it is hardly surprising:

Woman wakes from seven year coma at Bryan Adams concert
A German woman has woken up from a seven year coma after she was taken in a wheelchair to see Bryan Adams in concert. Christiane Kittel, now 24, was a pupil at her local school in Regensburg, when she fell into a coma. Doctors diagnosed a lung embolism and, despite emergency surgery to save her life, Christiane never fully recovered - spending the last seven years in a coma.

Her mother, Adelheid Kittel, said: "Bryan Adams was always her biggest hero and she loved his music before she fell into a coma. "When I heard about the concert in Regensburg I knew straight away that I had to take her there. I decided that Christiane had to hear him.
"Christiane was sitting in her special wheelchair and suddenly she started showing reactions that for seven years we have been dreaming of. She opened her eyes and actually watched what was going on, she started to move in the wheelchair, and she was totally fascinated by the music and the singer."

Not to be confused with Ryan Adams . . . I heard he once punched a guy for requesting a Bryan Adams song during one of his shows in New York. Apparently Ryan failed to see the humor in the situation.
