Adam Ant Biography

Adam Ant is one of the most popular and richest Pop Singer who was born on November 3, 1954 in Marylebone, England, United Kingdom. Frontman of the post-punk band Adam and the Ants who sang “Goody Two Shoes” and also had a solo career, during which he released three UK #1 singles.

His mother worked for The Beatles member Paul McCartney.

Adam and the Ants started as part of the burgeoning punk rock movement. Ant later acted in Derek Jarman’s seminal “punk” film Jubilee in 1977, as Adam and the Ants was beginning to gig around London with manager Jordan from the SEX Boutique on Kings Road. His debut as a recording artist was the song “Deutscher Girls”, which featured on the film’s soundtrack, along with “Plastic Surgery” which was performed in the film itself. “Deutscher Girls”/”Plastic Surgery” was re-released as a single in 1982. The band toured extensively around the UK but proved to be unpopular with much of the British music press who disliked their fetishistic lyrics and imagery. Late 1979 saw the release of their début album Dirk Wears White Sox (1979, Do It Records), with Matthew Ashman on guitar, Andy Warren on bass and Dave Barbarossa on drums.

Upon his discharge from the hospital, Goddard renamed himself Adam Ant, choosing the name because, “I really knew I wanted to be Adam, because Adam was the first man. Ant I chose because, if there’s a nuclear explosion, the ants will survive”. He remade connections with fellow former B-Sides Lester Square and Andy Warren and together with drummer Paul Flanagan, they formed Adam and the Ants (initially named just “The Ants”) in 1977, with the inaugural band meeting held in the audience at a Siouxsie and the Banshees performance at the Roxy Club in London’s Covent Garden.

He married Carol A Mills in 1975; after their divorce in 1982, he married Lorraine Gibson in 1997. He has a daughter named Lily.

In November 1981, Adam & the Ants released another highly successful album, Prince Charming. The album featured two United Kingdom No. 1 singles – “Stand and Deliver” and the title track, “Prince Charming” – as well as the No. 3 UK hit “Ant Rap”. This trio of singles was promoted by some of the most lavish music videos of the period and paved the way for Adam Ant’s later acting career. The work schedule Adam Ant imposed upon himself was punishing. “I took no holidays – and I mean no holidays. When Kings of the Wild Frontier took off, I was halfway through making Prince Charming, and so on, because we had to bring out an album and four singles a year. But the price you pay… I split my cartilage in Cleveland doing “Goody Two Shoes”, it was my body saying, ‘Look, no!’ Then I was back onstage doing the Motown 25 [in 1983] show 10 days later, having had the operation. Nobody could have stopped me, or make me do it. I did it. I was very, very bad at pacing,” he later remembered.
