Rock star Bryan Adams, set to tour India for the third time with concerts in Mumbai and Bangalore next month, says he is open to experimenting with Indian music.

Acknowledging India's great tradition of music that has inspired a number of Western musicians including the Beatles and Madonna, Adams expressed his readiness to do something with the country's music or musicians.

By the age of three he was playing the keyboard, at five he wrote his first composition and when he died at 35, he left behind a prodigious body of some 630 works including 41 symphonies and 27 piano concertos.

Asked if he had any immediate plan for such a venture, the Canadian rocker said: "Not yet. But I am very open to it."

Adams, a vegetarian who supports several charities, had a high opinion of Indian audiences based on experiences during his previous tours of the country in 2001 and 2004.

"From what I recollect, the audiences in India are very discerning and know how to appreciate real music," Adams told IANS in an email interview ahead of his concerts as part of his Third Time Lucky Live in Concert tour.
