Matt Everitts guest is 80s legend Adam Ant
His recent battles with mental health have come to dominate people's memories of Adam Ant so it's become easy to forget just what a massive star he was
Adam was a key member in the nascent UK punk scene before leading a band who eventually made him one of the biggest stars in the world - blending pop tunes with a punk sensibility and an inspired image that was part Byronic hero, part Beau Brummell and part Highwayman.
Matt Everitt speaks frankly to the man once known simply as Stuart Goddard, about the birth of punk, his emergence to become probably the most recognisable and successful major solo pop star of the early 80s, his spectacular and tragic fall from grace, and how he's been tackling Asperger syndrome to return to the stage and release his first album in seven years.
