After a troubled and turbulent decade, one of the most iconic faces on the planet during the post-punk era is returning to active service, and in a most unpredictable and chaotic style. Over the last few weeks, Adam Ant has been turning up unannounced at assorted club nights for quick guerrilla gigs - a dandy highwayman in the underworld - and joining other artists onstage for surprise duets. He's sung 'Prime Mover' with Zodiac Mindwarp, 'Antmusic' and 'Leader Of The Gang' with The Glitter Band and Angie Bowie, 'Cars' with Gary Numan (dressed, somewhat randomly, as V from V For Vendetta), played a hit-and-run acoustic set at the Troubadour and an electric mini-gig at the Scala backed by a tough, well-drilled band (featuring two members of glam-rockers Rachel Stamp). He's now gearing up to return to the Scala on Friday 30th April for a 'Pirate Metal Extravaganza', his first fully public gig in 15 years.

I was never a huge fan, but I never hated on him either.

I heard he was ill. Aids or Cancer or something just as scary. Don't know how true that is but hey, if he's making a comeback, I'm all 4 it.

It'll be a damp squib, the Scala's only a bar with a dancefloor really and he won't attract more than mere curiosity.

yeah, the title of this threat should probably be "look who is trying to make a comeback."

Nothing like that but rather mental instability. Really serious and troublesome. Good 4 him 4 hopefully recovering and getting out there in public. The guy is cool...

What do you mean? Adam Ant is the bomb! I would definitely be hearing new stuff from him. Bring on the comeback!

I like Adam Ant. Good luck for him.

I just mean the comeback is far from certain.

In the article I linked to, Ant calls Prince a genius, but also claims Prince stole his style.
