Boy George Then
Boy George, whose birth name was George Alan O’Dowd, was the lead singer for Culture Club, one of the most popular bands of the 1980s. Malcolm McLaren discovered George as the leader of the Sex Pistol because he stood out as a London club kid known for his eccentric manner and erratic behavior. Boy George’s unique appearance contributed to the sale of millions of copies of songs such as “Karma Chameleon,” “Time (Clock of the Heart),” and “Do You Just Want to Hurt Me.” His colorful androgynous dress and appearance make him instantly recognizable to millions of fans worldwide.
Boy George Now
Boy George’s life did not go smoothly after the band disbanded for a lengthy period. As he later revealed in interviews, the downfall of Culture Club was caused by a sexual relationship between George and Jon Moss, the band’s guitarist, drug use, and the untimely overdose death of its keyboardist. He received a severe sentence for imprisoning and then sexually raping a rented youngster. Boy George is attempting a return after completing his sentence. He writes novels, creates apparel, is a photographer, and composes music on a continuing basis. Sincerity and modesty have been praised in his most recent artistic creations.
