Description
Adam Ant: The Rise of a Pop Icon Adam and the Ants were a pivotal band in the 1980s, known for their unique blend of punk sensibility and heroic imagery. Formed in 1976, they achieved significant success with three top 20 albums and nine top 40 singles, including 'Cartrouble', 'Kings of the Wild Frontier', and 'Antmusic'. Their innovative approach to music videos helped shape the genre. This unofficial biography, written by Mark N. Redmayne, draws on extensive research and interviews with key personnel to tell the story of Adam Ant's remarkable journey from the ashes of punk to becoming the first pop star of the 1980s. With the 40th anniversary of Adam Ant's first solo number 1 single 'Goody two Shoes' approaching, this book offers a fascinating insight into the life and career of a true music icon. Adam Ant continues to perform to devoted fans around the world, and this book is both his and our story.
