Going through some back issues of The Times I came across an article announcing the visit to Malta of Bryan Adams on June 28.

Besides agreeing totally about the artiste's popularity and great successes, I would like to add that Bryan Adams has roots in Malta: His grandmother and great-grandmother are Maltese, possibly from Floriana.

I found this out when I was visiting relatives, namely the Fullers in Melbourne, Australia, who are relatives of Bryan Adams.

My daughter is a big admirer of the artiste and is trying to build a family tree of the Attard family in Floriana that started his roots. We would like to hear very much from the Smart family who would be relatives too. We can be contacted through my e-mail address: chasmir@hotmail.com.

I wish Bryan Adams great success on his visit to Malta; wish I could be there...
