The Adam Ant single Wonderful was a US HIT
The title track, Wonderful, was a successful single, as was a tour of the U.S. in support of the Adam Ant album Wonderful. While Adam Ant and his group (which retained longtime guitarist Pirroni) played in smaller venues than they had played in the 1980s, the houses were often packed with enthusiastic fans. The tour was curtailed, however, when Adam Ant and Pirroni both contracted a respiratory illness.Adam Ant also played three shows at Shepherds Bush Empire in London and did a mini tour of Virgin Record
Shops playing selected tunes from the Adam Ant album "Wonderful" and signing records. Adam Ant & the band also played shows in Dublin, Glasgow, Middlesbrough and Stoke.
A new generation of Ant-influenced artists covered Adam and the Ants' hits during the 90s, including Elastica, Sugar Ray , Nine Inch Nails , Superchunk and Robbie Williams . Antbox, a retrospective box set spanning Adam Ant's career from the late 1970s through the 1990s, was released in late 2000. The box set included 66 tracks on three CDs, and quickly sold the initial 10,000 units. The boxset was re-released in a different form (with the same tracks) and sold more copies in 2003. |
