George Boy

Karma is the definitive autobiography from music icon, Boy George - the fabulous Grammy, Brit and Ivor Novello award-winning lead singer of 80s pop/reggae band, Culture Club. Told in his inimitable style, Karma will reflect on Boy George's life as a kid growing up in sixties London, through the hedonism of the seventies and the glam rock and punk rock revolution that birthed Culture Club, and the heydays of the nineties meeting musical legends like David Bowie, Madonna and Prince - as well as addressing all those rumours. The book will reveal the highs and lows of love, loss, addiction, recovery, prison, and celebrity on Boy George's journey through fame to finally embracing the man and artist that he is today: 'I went to a lot of trouble to create Boy George and then I went through a whole battle for years about not wanting to be him. But now I enjoy and embrace it in a way that I wasn't able to as a young person.... I'm learning to be George Alan O'Dowd from Eltham who it turns out is quite an interesting person.' With all the humour, honesty, sarcasm (and hats!) that you'd expect, Karma gives us a unique insight into Boy George's incredible story and the true evolution of a music icon. 'Culture Club is always going to be one of those lovers I go back to. I've railed against it and that Boy George character I created. For years I convinced myself I was a creature of habit, unchangeable, immovable. But eventually you have to look in the mirror. Not looking for spots, looking for something deeper. Why the hell am I here? I would say life is the point of life.'

The Best of Boy George and Culture Club! je album najväčších hitov, ktorý obsahuje najväčšie hity Boy Georgeovej kariéry ako sólového speváka z rokov 1982 až 1993, ako aj s kapelami Culture Club a Jesus Loves You. Bol vydaný 20. septembra 1993. Bola to tretia retrospektíva Culture Clubu po albumoch This Time – The First Four Years z roku 1987 a The Best of Culture Club z roku 1989. Hoci album obsahuje väčšinu hitov Boy George a Culture Clubu dovtedy, vynechalo sa niekoľko pozoruhodných skladieb vrátane „The War Song“ (2. miesto v britskom rebríčku), „Mistake No.3“, „The Medal Song“ (32. miesto v britskom rebríčku) a „To Be Reborn“ (13. miesto v britskom rebríčku).
