Trouser-less Ant arrested

FORMER pop star Adam Ant was arrested after allegedly throwing stones near his home in north London, then removing some of his clothes at a nearby cafe, police said overnight.
The arrest on suspicion of criminal damage happened yesterday.

British newspaper The Sun carried a photograph showing two policemen leading Ant away with a blanket wrapped around his waist.

The 49-year-old singer, whose hits include Strip and Desperate But Not Serious, was released on bail until mid-July after police questioned him about allegedly throwing stones that broke several windows near his home, then heading to the Curly Dog cafe and taking off his pants.

Police soon arrived at the scene and took him away.

In October, a judge said Ant - whose real name is Stuart Goddard - had suffered a "temporary episode" of mental illness when he threatened pub customers with a fake pistol, and sentenced him to a year's community service and rehabilitation treatment.

The Associated Press :nut:


Are they victims of their chosen careers and the lifestyle more often than not involved, or, are mentally unstable people just more inclined to musical brilliance than the rest of us?

I think they get used to be being spoiled and having outrageous demands met. So they make the same demands when nobody cares anymore and don't know how be be another bloke again.

I think Adam Ant is ill, honestly, and shouldn't be used as a representation for musical artists.

I'm still getting over the shock that the quoted news story didn't mention "Goody Two Shoes" as one of his hits.

Or Ant Music.
He might be ill, but he still IS, (or was) a musical artist.

Another one I never heard of.

Maybe he and Bolton should get together. They both seem to have problems. :)

I think they bring their illness onto themselves.

It is the lifestyle of booze and drugs that does it....I suppose overindulgence catches up with everyone at some stage.

Cheers,

It could all be bullshit, but as I recall he was not a partier. I would bet he is just pure nuts. He is ill I would think.
