Boy George Wants ‘To Be Reborn’

Singer/Songwriter Boy George was at the top of his game in the early ‘80’s after starting the band Culture Club. People went wild for the overly flamboyant, New Romantic Movement hits such as “Karma Chameleon” and “Do You Really Want to Hurt Me?” Once the band broke up in ’86, George decided to try his hand at a solo career. Though he gained a decent amount of success in the UK, he never quite made it in the US - unless you count his work on the 2003 Broadway musical Taboo.

The last several years have been plagued with drug arrests and canceled tour dates. In 2007 he stepped back into the limelight after allegedly assaulting & falsely imprisoning a Norwegian gentleman at his home in East London. During that year he managed to scrap together a few paydays by Deejaying for various parties in Dubai and Sydney.

Apparently he will be headlining his first North American tour in a decade this coming summer. Tickets are now on sale for $65, would you shell out that much for this junky has-been?
