The last time we heard from the ‘Everything I Do, I Do It For You’ singer was when he was coming under fire for his “bat eating, wet market animal selling” Instagram rant and subsequent apology.

Now, he’s out there shooting some other well-known stars for the 2022 Pirelli Calendar, an annual trade calendar that has a reputation for its choice of photographers and models.

Adams seems well-versed in the industry, having had his photographs featured in Vogue, Vanity Fair, and Esquire, as well as shooting for brands such as Hugo Boss and Fred Perry.

Some behind-the-scene shots reveal that Adams is working with Jennifer Hudson, Cher and Rita Ora, but the name-dropping doesn’t stop there.

Per the Evening Standard, the theme for the next calendar is ‘On The Road’, which will feature artists posing in scenes that are a part of most working musicians’ lives:

Speaking about the theme for the calendar, Mr Adams said: “On the road is where I have been for the last 45 years, because the life of a musician is made up of roads, travel, waiting in hotels, hours back stage.”

Other celebs who were photographed in various locations across Los Angeles for the calendar are Iggy Pop (seen in the image above) and Grimes:

The Pirelli Calendar, first launched in 1963 with far raunchier photos, has been toned down in recent years with creators like Annie Leibovitz, Helmut Newton, and Mario Testino taking the lead.

There was no edition last year due to the pandemic, so the 2022 calendar, to be revealed in full this November, will mark its return.
