Title: Adam Ant
Post by: bigbaldbloke on July 23, 2006, 05:48:02 AM
I'm sure that you'll all be over the moon to know that his autobiography, Stand & Deliver, will be out on 15th September. He's also recording a 4 CD audio book & the release should coincide with the waaaaaaaaaaaaaay overdue Digital Tenderness DVD.

Oh, and they're releasing another Greatest Hits CD/DVD.

I could go off on one here, but the long & short of it is no. Adam suffers from Bipolar Disorder (TIFKA Manic Depression). He was in discussion with a woman about a project & her husband got jealous & started calling Adam at all times of day & night to tell him all of the wonderful things he'd do to Adam's daughter, as he assumed they were having an affair.

Adam put up with it for a while but in the end he decided to sort the bloke out. He went to the pub in Camden that this guy drank in, walked in & asked where he was. He got a load of abuse in return, so walked out of the pub & threw a starter motor through the window. The locals chased him, ready to give him a beating and when he ended up in an alley with them, he produced a starter pistol & aimed it at them. They legged it & called the police. He was then taken into custody & ultimately sectioned for his own safety.

Bagpuss, no offence taken mate. I blame the tabloids.

And his daughter was with his second wife, no longer together. His current partner is Clare, who seems really good for him.

You can even get his autobiography on CD read by the man himself:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Stand-Deliver-Autobiography-Adam-Ant/dp/1405089881/sr=1-2/qid=1161255715/ref=pd_bowtega_2/202-3534292-6866228?ie=UTF8&s=books

Although it's abridged & a lot shorter than the book (according to a reviewer).  Think I'll stick to the book.  Now, where's my purse?.....

You're quite right WB. 4 hours worth but it's a very strict autobiography in that it's very, very Adam-centric. Not much about the band, the meanings behind the songs, etc. at all. And you can have my copy.









Not.

BBB - Mr WB said he heard Adam's going to be in celebrity big brother? Is this true?

As true as Russel Brand starring as him in a film of the book. Same source too..... The Daily Star. There's your answer  ;)

And another Ant related query:

Dear BBB,

My mate's going to see The wolfmen  [Marco Pirroni's new band] play.  Are they likely to be any good?
Title: Re: Adam Ant
Post by: bigbaldbloke on October 22, 2006, 19:30:31 PM
They are quite good. Is he going to the launch party? It's actually Marco & Chris Constantinou, so there's a definite Ant vibe. If it's the launch he's going to, I'll give you my friend's mobile number & he can introduce him to Mr Pironni.
Title: Re: Adam Ant
Post by: Viscount Discount on October 22, 2006, 22:48:46 PM
He's actually met Marco once before BBB.

His mate is Craig, who does the DJing for the band.

Yep, Clare's been a real strong shoulder for him. She managed his affairs while he was inactive, but now that the book & DVD are out, there's a new manager on the scene. Nice bloke, but not too good at communication.
