Canadian singer Bryan Adams recently shot a cameo in an upcoming film by acclaimed Russian director Andrei Konchalovsky.

Adams' management company said the singer was in Russia at the time of the Sept. 11 terror attacks in New York and Washington, filming his part for Konchalovsky, screenwriter of "Andrei Rublev" (1972) and director of"Duet For One" (1986), "Shy People" (1987), "Runaway Train" (1885), "Tango & Cash" (1989) and the 1997 TV edition of "Homer's The Odyssey."

The film is titled "Dom Durakov". It tells the true story of a group of mental patients in Chechnya who were abandoned by their care-givers during the Russian bombing raids there in 1985.

Adams plays himself, performing "Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman" during a dream sequence, the management company said.

In the wake of the recent terror attacks, Adams has cancelled a planned tour of India next month. That country recently saw the release of a new Adams album entitled "Do To You." The disc was drawn from a performance Adams gave in May 2001 for an MTV India taping.

Meanwhile, Admas and bandmates Keith Scott (guitar) and Mickey Curry (drums) celebrate 20 years together as a band on Oct. 2, 2001. (More on Bryan Adams)
