As part of the British New Romantics movement of the 1980’s, the androgynous Boy George, front man forCulture Club, gave us hits such as “Do You Really Want to Hurt Me?,” “Karma Chameleon” and “Time (Clock of the Heart).” Although he struggled with heroin addiction and a breakup with fellow Culture Club drummer Jon Moss (theirs was a secret relationship due to Moss’ discomfort with a same-sex partner), he has had some high points in his career since leaving Culture Club. He’s established himself as a successful DJ in London’s club scene, started a clothing line called “B-rude,” penned tracks for the Beach Boys, Charlotte Church and Kylie Minogue, and has had several solo hits, including “The Crying Game” and “Amazing Grace.” Talk of a Culture Club reunion in 2012 is official and George says, “It’s going to be great fun. If we don’t do it now, we’ll do it when we’re 60 and that would be tragic.” George helped give androgyny an international stage and often played coy on his sexual nature, once famously stating he preferred a “nice cup of tea” to sex. He has remained a constant figure in the public eye and has penned numerous songs focusing on the frustrations of the inequalities for gay citizens.
