Adam Ant has reportedly been sectioned following a series of bizarre public appearances.
The former Adam and the Ants singer, who suffers from bipolar disorder, has been hospitalised under the Mental Health Act after concerns grew for his state of mind following a recent concert in a church hall in which he heckled the audience and told Christians to "f**k off".
A message from the 55-year-old posted on his official website read: "Ant fans - please send me postcards at the Chelsea & Westminster Hospital, Fulham Road. Please don't come down here as it may upset the staff who have been really pleasant.
"I am having a well earned rest at Her Majesty's Pleasure and am painting and continuing being an art student. I have a great view and am considering gigs later in the year."
Adam Ant, real name Stuart Goddard, was previously sectioned in 2003 when he was found naked in a cafe basement after threatening to smash his neighbour's front door with a shovel.
