“The amount of drama on stage would kill a beginner… so it’s a good thing we’re not beginners.”

Boy George has revealed Culture Club are going to release new music.

WE CAN hardly call him Boy anymore, now that George is about to celebrate his 50th birthday on Tuesday next.

New Culture Club frontman Sam Butcher was chosen as Boy George's replacement after responding to an advert on a popular UK classified ads website.

Auditions are being held for singers to join Culture Club, as the 1980s pop band are planning to re-form and tour without original vocalist Boy George.
