Adam Ant Pulls Out of 80s Revival Tour
LONDON (Reuters) - Pop star Adam Ant, who is currently on bail facing an assault charge, has pulled out of an 80s music revival tour in which he was due to be the headline act.
Ant, who had a string of number one hits including "Prince Charming" and "Stand and Deliver," withdrew from the "Here and Now" Tour because of unspecified medical reasons, Tony Denton Promotions said in a statement.
The 47-year-old, whose real name is Stuart Goddard, was arrested in January and charged with pulling out a gun in the posh London suburb of Primrose Hill. He has been remanded on bail until May 1.
Following his arrest, Ant, who has suffered from manic depression, was admitted to hospital for treatment.
The "Here and Now" tour, which kicks off on April 18, will now be headlined by Hadley, Norman & Keeble, former members of Spandau Ballet, along with Belinda Carlisle, Toyah, Howard Jones, ABC and China Crisis.
