Gary Numan

Gary Numan, electro god, mentions Adam's appearence at his gig last year in a recent interview: Adam Ant popped up on one of your shows recently. How was that? A surprise. I didn’t know he was coming. For all his issues, he’s a very interesting bloke to talk to but he turned up at a gig having decided he was going to guest on Cars. We were about to go on and I hadn’t spoken to him about it so I said: ‘Maybe do it at a gig that doesn’t start in two minutes.’ I got told during the gig my wife had a row with him and he wasn’t leaving. We did the encore and he said: ‘I’ll just do the backing vocals,’ and I said: ‘But there aren’t any backing vocals on it.’ He came out anyway and he started this rapping thing about: ‘I’ll get you in my car...’ I’m standing there like, ‘What the f*** is going on?’ and the fans were there with their mouths open. It was brilliant.
