Everything I do, I do it for Leave.EU – rock singer Bryan Adams has declared his pro-Brexit views, while on a European tour….

Has the Leave.EU campaign finally found an artist who will play at ill-fated musical rally Bpoplive?

Bryan Adams is the latest celebrity to speak out on the EU referendum next month.

The rocker's pro-Brexit views come Straight From the Heart, as he asked his Twitter followers if they "really want to be governed by people that are unelected".

Brexit: Are you in or out? Does the UK really want to be governed by people that are unelected?

— Bryan Adams (@bryanadams) May 26, 2016

People have been quick to respond to this latest Vote Leave backing, pointing out that both the House of Lords and Queen Elizabeth II are unelected authority figures in government.

But Adams is having none of it. His pro-Brexit outburst comes just hours after completing a gig in the Belgian city of Antwerp – a short train journey from the European Parliament's headquarters in Brussels.

The Heat of the Night did little to persuade him to the Remain camp, and is adamant that Britain should Getaway from bureaucratic regulations.

No doubt he longs for the Summer of 69, (before the days of the Common Market).

Looks like we were wrong about Simon Cowell being the next celebrity to come out for the Leave campaign, but there's still time.
