Adam And The Ants enjoyed just two years of huge international success with a raft of hits including the eponymous Ant Music, Goody Two Shoes, Stand And Deliver and Prince Charming.
After they split in 1982, Ant became one of the first VJs to host the newly launched MTV and then parlayed his popularity into a moderately successful acting career in film and television for several years.
He returned to music in the early 1990s but his career stalled again in the following decade after a series of violent incidents had led to him being committed to psychiatric care.
He revealed in his autobiography Stand And Deliver that he had battled mental illness for most of his life and was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
The 57-year-old pop icon returned to the live stage in the UK last year to rave reviews and will perform with his new band The Good, The Mad And The Lovely Posse at the Enmore Theatre, Sydney, on March 23.
Tickets go on sale tomorrow.
Ant will also visit Sydney and Melbourne in a couple of weeks for a promotional tour to spruik his comeback.
