‘Boy George is innocent and will fight drug charges’
The Irish-born singer, whose real name is George O’Dowd, appeared in Manhattan Criminal Court yesterday to answer charges stemming from an October incident when police, responding to his call to report a burglary, found 13 bags of cocaine in his apartment.
Dressed down in a sombre outfit of black T-shirt, black suit and black overcoat, Boy George looked tired and nervous in court, where he stood before the judge without speaking as the lawyers negotiated the adjournment.
