Boy George, the funky and modern George of Culture Club, made a recent appearance on The Jonathan Ross Show and shared some exciting news with the audience. Culture Club, the iconic band, is back with a brand new album after nearly two decades. The band members, including Boy George, discussed their experience of reuniting and creating new material.
Being in a band isn’t always easy, and Culture Club is no exception. Boy George revealed that even after so many years, the band members are still learning to communicate effectively. However, they believe that being on stage or in the studio makes perfect sense for them as a band.
When asked about any past animosities or grievances, Boy George explained that being human beings, there are always issues that come up. He humorously mentioned that the focus has always been on him getting all the attention, which he admits is partly his own fault. With his unique style and striking appearance, Boy George has always been the face of Culture Club.
During the interview, there were reports of Boy George sacking Donna Moss, a former bandmate and his ex-partner. Boy George clarified that Donna Moss is only taking a break and that there is no friction between them. He emphasized that Culture Club still consists of four members and decisions are made democratically.
Switching gears, Boy George talked about some interesting encounters with the British royal family. Contrary to earlier reports, he clarified that he never turned down an MBE (Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire) and that he would love to meet the Queen someday. He shared a sweet memory of meeting Princess Diana and described her as adorable.
The conversation took a more personal turn as Boy George discussed his journey to sobriety. He revealed that he has been sober for over ten years, acknowledging that constant low points and a desire for change led him to make the decision. Boy George admitted to previously experimenting with various substances but stressed that he was never a drinker.
Jonathan Ross then delved into Boy George‘s eclectic spiritual journey. Boy George described himself as a Buddhist in his aspirations and a Catholic in his complications. He mentioned that being a vegan has been an important aspect of his life for a long time, in addition to his spirituality.
As the interview continued, Jonathan Ross couldn’t resist bringing up one of the bizarre rumors surrounding Boy George – his alleged practice of drinking his own urine. Boy George chuckled and confirmed that he had indeed tried it, citing the concept of homeopathy and its purifying effects. However, he admitted that the taste was utterly disgusting and only advised trying it as a quick shot-like drink.
To conclude, Boy George‘s appearance on The Jonathan Ross Show reminded everyone of his enduring presence in the music industry. Despite ups and downs, Boy George and Culture Club have returned with a new album, showcasing their timeless talent and unique style that has made them an integral part of music history.
