LONDON - Bryan Adams has confirmed that he's going to be a dad at 51.
On Sunday, Adams posted a message to his personal website letting his fans know that he and his personal assistant Alicia Grimaldi are expecting a baby.
"She (helped) me start my foundation years ago and it looks like she'll be running the family now!" Adams wrote.
The U.K.'s Telegraph newspaper had reported Sunday that Adams and Grimaldi were due in May, attributing the story to a "friend and near neighbour" of the Canadian pop rock star in London.
Adams also confirmed the news on Twitter (although he disputed the "friend" portion of the report), and added a thank you to his fans for the "kind wishes" he's received.
The father-to-be is currently in the midst of an acoustic tour in the United States that's scheduled to wrap on April 16 in Seattle.
He then has a rare gap in his touring schedule. He's due back on the road in June, with shows in the U.K. and Europe to follow.
