New Wave/post-punk hero Adam Ant today announced he is delaying the release of his new album and canceling his February tour of the U.S. — although he plans to reschedule what will be his first American trek in 16 years for September and October.
Adam Ant posted the following message on his website today:
“Due to circumstances beyond the control of Adam Ant, his band and his representation, the release of Adam’s new album has been delayed resulting in the re-scheduling of his February USA tour dates to September and October 2012. Please check with your local venue for the date of the rescheduled performance at which advance purchased tickets will remain valid. Adam Ant and all those involved with the tour are disappointed with the delay and apologize to the many of you that have purchased tickets in advance, however he greatly looks forward to bringing an amazing show to you all on the revised dates.”
The musician has not announced a release date for Adam Ant Is The Blueblack Hussar in Marrying The Gunner’s Daughter, which at one point was expected to arrive this month.

PREVIOUSLY ON SLICING UP EYEBALLS
Im just glad to see/hear that its not another tumble down the man/dep well. Peace to you Adam. Good luck with the tour in the Fall 2012.
Thanks a pantload Stuart. I guess I’ll use my tickets… someday…
Funny how the cancelled dates are in locations almost identical to the remaining ones. Lack of interest, perhaps?
Those are the rescheduled dates, you twat. Read the article… “re-scheduling of his February USA tour dates to September and October 2012.” And by the way… The Austin, TX show (not listed here) was BRILLIANT & the Dallas show sold out! I think it’s safe to say there is plenty of interest.
That Austin show was so brilliant!! I haven’t stopped thinking of him!!!!!!!! Haven’t seen him since ’95 and I thought he was just brilliant then and now!! :)
