Adam Ant News
Unfortunately, this is sad Adam Ant news. The Daily Mail says that Adam, who suffers from bipolar disorder, has been sectioned under the Mental Health Act and is now receiving treatment at a hospital in London. If you're tasting a few drops of Cheetos on your tongue it's because Adam has basically been put on a 5150 hold. They call it section 4 in the UK. We're learning stuff.
Adam was shuffled off to the hospital after he had a series of public freakouts over the past few weeks. During a charity show last week, Adam asked if there were any Christians in the audience and then he told them to "FUCK OFF." I'm not sure what's so crazy about that since Roseanne writes that on her blog on an hourly basis. Oh wait.
Strangely enough, the crowd showered Adam with boos instead of claps and he was escorted off the stage.
Adam released a special message to his fans asking them to send him cards instead of stalking the hospital lobby:
Ant fans - please send me postcards at the Chelsea & Westminster Hospital, Fulham Road. Please don't come down here as it may upset the staff who have been really pleasant.I am having a well earned rest at Her Majesty's Pleasure and am painting and continuing being an art student. I have a great view and am considering gigs later in the year.
Eat the jello and get better, Adam. Every time I tell someone to "FUCK OFF" this weekend, I will dedicate it to you.

"DANGEROUS BUT NOT SERIOUS
my fav adamn ant song
imma gonna play it on my next set"
It's "Desperate But Not Serious". I have just about everything Adam has ever released and I absolutely ADORED him as a kid/teenager.
Please get better soon, Adam.
I always thought of him as a "Goody Two-Shoes".
Don't ask me why.
I'm liking those smoking statistics. Maybe I can sue my arsey government for discrimination. Although... we don't exactly have human rights laws in australia so i'll have to wait til someone who's studied law to sue to government for that. Seriously, the government doesnt even recognise the UN's human rights policies... so damn....either i spend 11 million years & dollars studying law...or just pay hundreds of dollars for the smokes. smokes=cheaper.
NOooooo, everyone knows that adam ant is way more sane than the rest of us. You can tell by how pretty he is.
they make a pill that evens out yer mood. but it's horrible. seriously it makes you feel nothing at all. I got misdiagnosed with that shit when i was a teenager by some strict psychiatrist bitch (cmon, all teenagers are pretty much bipolar) who prescribed it, can't remember the name of it tho. AWFUL horrible stuff.
Well, I've probably guaranteed myself not to be accepted on this board with that comment, but this is me! Hi everybody!!! Jesus loves you!!! LOL I promise I won't do that anymore. :)
~~~~~~there's nothing wrong with believeing in God. Don't apologize. If someone has a problem with it who cares?
Bang bang you're dead
Did not did too
Stop diddy-bopping buddy
Bouncing betty on you
Get better, Adam. Your music makes me happy.

Chris Evert used to fuck this dude in her earlier days. Then again, the wench has fucked a lot of guys in her life!
This is sad, I liked him a lot. Bi-Polar disorder sucks.
He needs some white-strips among a lot of other things! Nasty teeth, nails, face... FUG!
holy shit what the fuck i just had a dream about adam ant last night what the fuck astral message was he sending me...i dreamt my friends and i where on a people mover type escalator in the middle of times square and instead of actually sitting in seats to watch a broadway show they had the stages out in plain view so u can pick and choose what u actually wanted to see...so the people mover is moving us along and the shows are all in progress and as we are moving along oooohing and awwwing one is merly streep and im not sure why they made a broadway play of postcards from the edge but she was in that then there was hairspray and then this odd play very similar to moulin rouge only ADAM ANT was the ringmaster....soooo strange huh just last night and i remember him vividly...

I have a question, I always make the mistake that it was Adam Ant who got busted with that pedo ring shit but it was another 80's new wave star but I can not recall who is it, do you all know?
I'm pretty sure they make a pill or three for Bipolar peeps. No need to suffer. Ask Brit Brit!!
Nail me to my car... then I'll tell you who you are...Joe The Lion
And the Sex Pistols opened for him when the Ants were still a punk band in the late 70's.
So before there were the Pistols there was Adam and the Antz!

Section 4 in the UK
5150 in The USA
in Ontario, Canada..a certificate of involuntary admission..a 72 hour hold..is called a Form 1.
Psychiatry is my specialty, and I work with these forms everyday.
There are Forms to extend the Form 1 ( Form 3) , and another to extend that one ( Form 4).
There are forms that your family can swear out, in front of a judge, to have the police pick you up and bring you to the hospital for a Psych Assessment ( Form 2), and there is a Section 17 that the police can put you on when they think you need to see Psychiatry.
We are always busy, which is sad.

On second thought, the Archbishop of Canterbury might have had his knickers in a twist. Whatever Adam Ant's psychological problems are,he's an artist. Can you picture Amy Winehouse dropping in to visit?
I say FUCK OFF at least ten times an hour - that ain't crazy. Well in New York City it ain't.
His orange fingers and eye, though, I'd call the popo on him for that - it's skerry to me. (((shudder)))
FUCK OFF sounds like a perfectly fine thing to say to people, especially religious wackos. I tell everyone to FUCK OFF in my head and I mean EVERYONE. Does this make me crazy too???

Peace. Don't worry about defending your faith. People despise me for being boring,eccentric,etc,but not for being a Christian.
@Angel_i,my voice has been on the line between lyric and coloratura soprano since I was seventeen. That means"all cultured and shit",as GrapeDrankBaby used to say,not a whiner!
OMG, I wanted this guy when I was a tween. Lusted after his glam rock body. Sad to see what he has become today.
I hope things turn out well for him.
If you only knew. That man is an icon!
Absolutely!!! This man paved the way for New Romantic rockers which led to Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet, and eventually the new British invasion that dominated 80's music.

I knew a bipolar dude that was in his 40s and smoked 4 packs of Marlboro Reds a day and his fingers looked exactly like Adam's. All he did everyday was smoke ciggies and wander around the neighborhood. He occasionally ended up on psych lockdown after flipping his shit in public.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GROSS! I wouldnt smoke ciggs even if it would give me eternal youth and Id live forever. Fuck smoking nasty fucking habit.
Don't make me laugh, telling his "fans" not to come to the hospital.
He could count the number of his fans on the fingers on his left foot.
If you only knew. That man is an icon!
Adam and the Ants! You know it makes sense!

I dont give a flying sack of horse shit about Adam Ant or how crazy he is or isnt.
I personally don't care what Adam Ant has to say, but I will say that I don't think Christians should all be lumped into one big stereotype, just like different races shouldn't be. I'm a Christian, and I think George W. Bush is an idiot, I have an open mind, and I have a sense of humor. I think it's my job as a Christian to love and accept everyone. I only struggle with this when it comes to murderers, child molesters, etc. End of religion talk.
Well, I've probably guaranteed myself not to be accepted on this board with that comment, but this is me! Hi everybody!!! Jesus loves you!!! LOL I promise I won't do that anymore. :)

He's not crazy... He was sane enough to realize if he told Muslims to Fuck Off , he'd be dead.
Adam Ant was one of my serious teenage crushes. To the poster who wrote "who is this guy?" PISS OFF! I would still hit him so hard that I would need a safety harness!_______________________________________________

This just in:
"While the prevalence of smoking in the total U.S. population is about 25 to 30 percent, the prevalence among people with schizophrenia is approximately three times as high - or almost 90%, and approximately 60% to 70% for people who have bipolar disorder."

Presumably it's the same in Britain.
Thanks to the person who posted the YouTube link to the Honda ad! Supremely '80s.
Who is this guy?
And if he had said: "Go forth and multiply" I guess no one would have batted an eyelash, huh?

I remember Adam cracking up in 2002 and waving a gun at people , this went on when I was living in Spain , the Daily Mail was the only English newspaper on offer.
He was the 1st celebrity I met when I worked at a hotel in Ft. Laud FL , Adam and all The Ants were such a great bunch of happy lads..
Shame things are coming apart for him..
I would have pissed myself laffing if I had been in the audience when he told the Christians to fuck off..
DListed, the ONLY news you'll ever need.
Thank you Hekki!! I only got the Vespa/Honda thing wrong. Adam and Grace sure look good in that ad.

I've heard of schizophrenics smoking to relieve their symptoms, though not bipolar people specifically. It seems there is an ingredient in tobacco smoke that is similar to a drug used to treat schizophrenia. Unfortunately, it also causes cancer. And stained fingertips.
For Mr. Mercury: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExZn7eACskg
When I was in high school I skipped school one day to go to Boston where Adam & the Ants were signing records at the Harvard Coop. He put me on the guest list and the show was great, but my older sister took me & wouldn't let me go to the after party.
I am sending him all best wishes!

Thanks Hekki for remembering! I was starting to think I hallucinated that Vespa thing. Yeah, the death of MTV makes me sad too.

So now when a person is not a hypocrite, they call it bipolar disorder.

Mr. Hekki and I love Adam Ant and have a bunch of his stuff on iTunes. That's some good music, seriously.
