Onetime New Wave pop star Adam Ant is thinking about making a comeback, nearly 25 years after releasing his last noteworthy solo album, according to ContactMusic.com.

The 54-year-old former singer for Adam and the Ants, born Stuart Goddard, says he’s gotten his life together after some public breakdowns in recent years and wants to make some more of his once-trademark “ant music.”

Well, if Spandau Ballet is back together, why not Adam Ant?

This won’t be Adam Ant’s first attempt at a comeback: He’s announced several in the past after he dropped out of the music scene in 1985 to pursue an acting career.

He first formed Adam and the Ants in the late 1970s, but it wasn’t until he reshuffled the lineup in 1980 that things took off. The band’s first album, Kings of the Wild Frontier, put them on the UK charts with the hit singe, Antmusic. The follow-up album, Prince Charming, also charted in the UK and helped make Goddard an early video star on MTV.

In 1982, he disbanded the group and launched a solo career, which bore immediat fruit with the single “Goody Two Shoes” off his first album, Friend of Foe. His subsequent releases drew less and less attention, ending with his 1985 release Vive Le Rock.

He’s been in over a dozen movies and TV shows, and made some headlines a few years back when he pulled out a toy gun in a bar, helping lead to rumors of his instability.

But Adam Ant says he’s on top of his game now and will give the music biz another go. We’ll see if he’s still got any Prince Charming vibes left in him.
