Adam Ant sectioned again
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 24 May 2010
Adam Ant has reportedly been sectioned again under the Mental Health Act. The singer suffers from bipolar disorder and was previously sectioned in 2003. Concerns for his mental well-being had been raised in recent weeks, not least following that charity gig in a church in Portsmouth where the singer told his shocked audience: “I’m a punk rocker, I don’t do Christian, you can fuck off to the church”.
According to The Music Fix, the singer, real name Stuart Goddard, was hospitalised this weekend and is now receiving treatment at the Chelsea & Westminster hospital. The music website has published a statement from Goddard, which reads: “I am having a well earned rest at Her Majesty’s Pleasure and am painting and continuing being an art student. 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. Please don’t come down here as it may upset the staff who have been really pleasant”.
