Adam has done everything from Coronation St to Shortland St, from politics (with the UK’s National equivilant, the Conservative Party) to pop.
As great as he was as Corrie’s Kieran Mitchell with his iconic kiss with Todd Grimshaw in 2003, we remember him for his pop career – lighting up London’s G-A-Y club with top five hit I Breathe Again redefining how male pop stars could be marketed.
