On 25 June 2019, "The New York Times Magazine" listed Adams among hundreds of artists whose material was reportedly destroyed in the 2008 Universal fire. Adams told the "Times" that he had asked Universal for access to the master tapes for "Reckless" in 2013 while working on a remastered edition of the album, but had been told that the tapes could not be found. Adams eventually located a safety copy of the album to use on the remaster, and was not made aware of the fire until the "Times"' initial report on 1 June. On 15 November 15, 2019, Adams released a EP dedicated to Christmas. The "Christmas EP" contains five tracks, the new track "Joe and Mary" and three previously released tracks: "Christmas Time", "Reggae Christmas" and "Merry Christmas"; and a new interpretation of "Must Be Santa", a 1960s Christmas song, performed in 2009 by Bob Dylan. At the end of November 2019, the album The Christmas Present by the British singer-songwriter Robbie Williams is released, Adams participates in the duet with Williams in the song Christmas (Baby Please Come Home).
