Adam Ant Discusses "Blueblack Hussar", & His New Band & Album

Post-punk 80s icon Adam Ant talks to Wall Street Journal "Business of Celebrity" show host Lee Hawkins about his decision to go on his first U.S. tour in 17 years and his new band, "Adam Ant and The Good, the Mad and the Lovely Posse." Ant's "The Blueblack Hussar Tour" will support his new album, called "Adam Ant is the Blueblack Hussar in Marrying the Gunner's Daughter." Ant talked to Hawkins about how he was influenced early on by Motown stars such as the Temptations, and how he later forged friendships with Motown founder Berry Gordy and Michael Jackson, even performing on the legendary "Motown 25" show. Ant, the former head of the band "Adam & the Ants", concedes in the interview that he has suffered a lifetime battle with mental illness, and explains how he plans to manage his illness in the years to come.
