Adam Ant's a certified nutter isn't he? Went all Syd Barrett or something after his 15 mins of fame ended...
Dunno about all syd Barrett but not too far off....maybe Syd in reverse.
He was claiming to be a teetotaller during the peak of his fame.
The book is about how he was married young then tried to commit suicide by taking a bunch of pills.
When he woke in hospital he would only answer to Adam Ant from then on.
His old band headlined for The sex pistols first gig.
He reckons that night his life changed ..then he did the suicide/re-birth thang.
Thats when he started the Ants who were a punk band at first.
Then Malcom McClaren wisely suggested he ditch the punk thing and go with the new romantic stuff.
It paid off ....it is reported he made about 10 million pounds from that piece of shyte "Prince Charming" album.
Anyhoo he suffers from bipolar .
He was also a sex addict ...needed it every night...and would get suicidal without it.
I'd be dead every night if that were the case for me.
oh
his 15 mins lasted 3 years.
he had 15 top 20 hits in the Uk .
not too bad for a band with 2 drummers.
