Stuart Leslie Goddard, known professionally as Adam Ant (born 3 November 1954) is an English singer, musician, and actor. He gained popularity as the lead singer of new wave group Adam and the Ants and later as a solo artist, scoring 10 UK top ten hits from 1980 to 1983, including three UK No. 1 singles.
