YOU'D expect a world famous rock and world star to live a life of luxury at Christmas in a tropical resort.

But rocker Bryan Adams has instead opted to spend his festive holidays on the Isle of Wight.

The 55-year-old Canadian rock star posted this image of himself next to an airstream caravan on the island on his Instagram account and declared that the weather is as 'cold as Canada'.

If you scratch beneath the surface it is not too unusual to see Bryan Adams there, as his girlfriend Alicia Grimaldi is the daughter of former Isle of Wight High Sheriff Peter Grimaldi and he played at the Isle of Wight Festival in 2003.
