Boy George Lyrics

Boy George (born George Alan O'Dowd 14 June 1961 in Eltham, London) is an English singer-songwriter who was part of the English New Romantic movement which emerged in the early 1980s. He helped give androgyny an international stage with the success of Culture Club during the 1980s. His music is often classified as blue-eyed soul, which is influenced by rhythm and blues and reggae. His 1990s and 2000s-era solo music has glam influences such as David Bowie and Iggy Pop. Being involved in many activities (among them songwriting, DJing, writing books, designing clothes and photography), he has released fewer music recordings in the last decade.

Boy George is currently serving a fifteen-month prison sentence at HMP Edmunds Hill in Newmarket, Suffolk for the assault and false imprisonment of a male escort in his East London flat.

Boy George was born George Alan O'Dowd in Eltham, London on 14 June 1961, to Gerry and Dinah O'Dowd, who were originally from Thurles, County Tipperary in Ireland. He is one of six children. His siblings are Richard, Kevin, David, Gerald, and Siobhan.

He was a follower of the New Romantic movement which was popular in Britain in the early 1980s. O'Dowd and his friend Marilyn were regulars at The Blitz, a trendy London nightclub run by Steve Strange of the group Visage. O'Dowd and Marilyn also worked at the nightclub as cloakroom attendants.
