Adam Ant Enters Mental Health Facility




May 25, 2010


Adam Ant has been admitted into a U.K. psychiatric facility for advanced treatment of bipolar disorder. The former Adam and the Ants frontman has lived with the condition since the early 1980s and has now reportedly been sectioned under the U.K. Mental Health Act.

"I am having a well earned rest at Her Majesty's Pleasure and am painting and continuing being an art student," he said in a statement. "I have a great view and am considering gigs later in the year."

"Ant fans -- please send me postcards at the Chelsea & Westminster hospital, Fulham Road," he continued, discouraging fans from visiting the hospital because "it may upset the staff who have been really pleasant."

Ant's bipolar disorder has been at the center of several public incidents, including one earlier this month in which he told audience members at a church performance to "f*ck off." He then continued on to perform a cover of the Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil."

I love Adam but sad to say, that this is the end.

I really feel sorry for him, looking at that top picture he looks unrecognisable from the Adam we all loved in the 1980's. I hope he gets the help he needs, your fans love you and are thinking of you.
