RCOD 275-X10 X 18996-1 Boy George. Obligatory Credit - CAMERA PRESS / Gianni Muratore. .. DJ Boy George, former frontman with British New Wave pop act Culture Club at his 1995 birthday party. He will be 41 years old on 14th June 2002... He continues to be a high profile performer and speaker, recently penning a musical based on the New Romantic era named 'Taboo', the first performance of which took place on 14th January 2002, and launching the new Purple Radio station for gays and lesbians on 25th January 2002. The world famous pop icon, real name George O'Dowd, emerged in the eighties at the fore-front of the New Romantics movement. Boy George was born on June 14, 1961 in Bexleybeath, Eltham, Kent, UK. Boy George combined a strong, soulful singing voice with a provocative sense of fashion, both of which were first brought to the attention of English and American audiences in Culture Club. The group wrote and played impeccable pop music, and Boy George's androgynous persona with the heavy makeup and outrageous costumes gave the group a distinct video image in the dawn of MTV.
