THE PIRELLI CALENDAR RETURNS, BRYAN ADAMS TO SHOOT THE 2022 EDITION

The Canadian artist broke the news via his social media channels. “I’m proud to have been chosen as the photographer of the Pirelli Calendar 2022. Combining photography and music for ‘The Cal™’ is very exciting, and it will of course feature some extraordinary people. In a few weeks, the shoot will begin. I am thrilled”, he said. The announcement marks the return of the Pirelli Calendar, which was suspended last year in light of the Covid emergency. Apart from 2021, the history of ‘The Cal™’ saw suspensions in 1967 and then from 1975 to 1983.
