New wave rocker Adam Ant is planning a comeback tour six years after suffering a public mental breakdown.

The Prince Charming singer, 54, was sectioned after a manic episode in a London pub, but now he insists he is back to full health and ready to return to showbiz.

Ant, real name Stuart Goddard, says, "I've been hitting the gym and walking a lot. I feel great, better than I have in years".

It's undeniable he's looking amazing at the moment if you think about where he was only as few years ago

After his band Adam and the Ants split in 1982, the singer enjoyed a successful solo career, before he won rave reviews as an actor.

But, when work dried up, his health began to suffer, and he was famously arrested back in 2002 after wielding an imitation gun in a London pub. He spent a year in psychiatric care.

According to sources, the former icon is in talks to perform a string of gigs in the U.K. An insider tells Music-News, "He has been through so much but gradually he's been getting back on his feet, thanks to the support he's been given in his personal life and by his devoted army of fans. Nothing's been set in stone in terms of dates but there are meetings going on at present to plan shows.

"It's undeniable he's looking amazing at the moment if you think about where he was only as few years ago".
