ADAM ANT STILL LIKES TO DRESS UP

You can’t accuse Adam Ant, 59, of wanting to avoid the paparazzi because this outfit would attract attention even on the streets of London. The 80’s pop star (he describes his early music with Adam and the Ants as post punk, NOT New Romantic) is now a solo artist. He’s been diagnosed as bi-polar and struggles with medication because it takes away his creativity. Of course when he doesn’t take it, bad things tend to happen. He’s still touring and performing in Europe and lives near his teen-age daughter in the UK. Little known fact: he once dated Jamie Lee Curtis!

Adam Ant Johnny Depp

EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE JOHNNY DEPP

Early 80’s pop star Adam Ant (left) actually had something of a pirate look of his own long before Johnny Depp did “Pirates of the Caribbean.” Now, 59, Adam has been dealing with bi-polar disorder since his early 20’s and he wrote a book about his life. He’s resumed touring, mostly in the UK, and today he bears quite a resemblance to Johnny.

Adam Ant Bi-polar Manic Depressive Then and Now

ADAM ANT’S ATTIRE IS THE LEAST OF HIS PROBLEMS

We didn’t know that Adam Ant (above, then and now) was diagnosed as bi-polar and has been battling manic depression for years. Since his heyday he’s had a few legal skirmishes and hospitalizations. According to the Daily Mail, he was attempting a comeback at a charity event in the UK this week but when he started rambling and wasting time onstage, the audience turned on him and booed. He responded by yelling obscenities and insulting Christians in particular. The next day he was locked up in a mental hospital where he is now recovering.

Adam Ant Fashion Funeral Malcolm McLaren Puck Sex Pistols Vivienne Westwood

FINAL DRAMATIC FAREWELL TO MALCOLM MCLAREN, THE ARCHITECT OF PUNK

Subversive punk icon Malcolm McLaren was laid to rest in the flamboyant style he’d grown accustomed to. “Too Fast To Live, Too Young To Die,” the slogan from his “Sex” shop, was written on his casket. The funeral procession was led by a horse drawn carriage, and paraded through the home of the punk movement, Camden, in north-west London. Thousands of people lined the streets. Mourners included the remaining Sex Pistols, tarted up Adam Ant, and McLaren’s muse Vivienne Westwood. Westwood wants McLaren to be remembered as an inspiration to the new generation – she advised them to “Get a life – and do something with it!”
