It lasted not weeks but months and it seemed like years, as though an entire era of popular music was dominated by one song. From July to October 1991, the UK charts, and the radio that shaped them, was conquered by (Everything I Do) I Do It For You, the unstopppable Bryan Adams power ballad from the box office hit Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves.
The single sold more than 15 million copies, and to think the song came together almost as an afterthought. That’s how Keith Scott, Bryan Adams long-serving guitarist remembers it.
