Bryan Adams Honours Terry Fox with New Single 'The Ballad of Terry Fox'

The song is set to appear in the forthcoming documentary Run Terry Run about the heroic Canadian runner, which will premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) in September.

Bryan Adams' newest single is a tribute to a Canadian hero.

The Canadian singer-songwriter released "The Ballad of Terry Fox," a motivational, guitar-backed ballad that pays homage to the late Canadian runner who led the groundbreaking Marathon of Hope, a cross-country run and fundraiser for cancer research. Adams' uplifting lyrics detail Fox's resilience while running for the humanitarian cause, "for the people and their stories that never will be told," even through trying distances and weather conditions.
