80s music legend announces rescheduled tour dates as he delays shows by a YEAR

80s music legend Adam Ant has rescheduled tour dates and delayed his upcoming shows by a YEAR.

The 70-year-old was supposed to return to the stage as part of his Antmusic Tour this year.

Adam was due to perform on stage in various locations across the UK in 2024, but now the tour will be taking part in autumn 2025.

It will start on October 23 2025.

There are also six new dates for fans to enjoy in Bournemouth, Cardiff, Basingstoke, Watford, Portsmouth and Milton Keynes.

In a statement, Adam said: "Performing live brings me such personal joy.

"I’m now feeling fine and dandy and very much looking forward to these new shows.

"I wish you all a Merry Christmas... and I hope the news I bring will make for a Happy New Year!”

Five weeks ago Adam took to Instagram to share the devastating news.

He said: "Dear all, it is with deep regret that I am postponing and rescheduling the ANTMUSIC 2024 tour.

"As you know, I have missed the shows this past week due to ill health.

"Performing live brings me such personal joy and I'm so disappointed that at this moment in time, I am unable to.

"There will be an annoucement next week as my team work out the new dates, so please hold on to your tickets as they will be valid for the new shows.

"Good news is we hope to add extra shows and additional venues as well, and make the next tour bigger and better.

"I love you all and thank you for all your kind messages over this past week."

He was forced to postpone his Liverpool, Guildford, Birmingham, Bournemouth, Southend, Cambridge this year.

This was due to an inflamed throat.

Fans rushed to social media to share the love.

One said: Please get well soon, Adam. Your health comes first and your fans know and understand that."

Another added: "Wishing you well and good health always."

"Sending well wishes dear Ant," a third chimed in.
