In an official statement, Ant expressed an intention to perform further gigs later in the year once his hospitalisation had ended. Although he gave at least one live performance in the immediate aftermath of his release a jam at a Chelsea bar at some point during the weekend of 19—20 June , which appeared consistent with his previously stated intentions, [41] he otherwise kept a mostly low profile for the rest of his supervised outpatient period.

To promote this exhibition, Ant performed a solo charity concert at the gallery on 6 March [62] with the same two band members as the Ronnie Scotts concert from the previous December.
The concert was well received, although an inebriated Chrissie Hynde who was in attendance, heckled throughout the performance. Although poor ticket sales forced the cancellation of the Adelaide gig, [67] the remaining four concerts all went ahead. The Sydney Morning Herald gave a reservedly positive review of the opening Sydney date on 23 March which it rated three stars out of five , noting "In a set plus two encores the first cheered for; the second not really but played anyway comprising 30 songs, it was kind of the equivalent of throwing a lot of make-up at the mirror and seeing what stuck.
Subsequently, for the second year running, Ant was scheduled to make appearances on the summer festival circuit, interspersed with various one-off dates around the UK. This got off to an early start when Ant stepped in as replacement headliner at the Bearded Theory festival in Derby on 18 May , when the Levellers had to pull out due to one of the band members being injured.

The tone of Ant's debut solo album, Friend or Foe , was defined as glitzy glam pop with "tongue-in-cheek tunes, delivered with an excess of flair and good humour". It was also described as being "one of Ant's best records and one of the best new wave albums".
In a review for Strip , the songs were considered to contain a "mixture of driving, danceable rock with humour". The fourth studio album, Manners and Physique , was said to be a combination of "contemporary dance tracks" and Ant's "old flair for mockery".

It's been an out-of-body experience. Bipolar means up and down and that's me Music has always been the best medication. I was on sodium valproate for seven years I couldn't get to sleep and I didn't make love for seven years. My hair fell out and I couldn't pick up a book as I couldn't concentrate. I didn't write a song or pick up a guitar in that time — and piled on the weight. I might as well have been dead. I work very closely with my GP and any decisions I make are made with him".
