Told in his inimitable style, Karma will reflect on Boy George's life as a kid growing up insixties London, through the hedonism of the seventies and the glam rock and punk rock revolutionthat birthed Culture Club, and the heydays of the nineties meeting musical legends like DavidBowie, Madonna and Prince - as well as addressing all those rumours. The book will reveal the highsand lows of love, loss, addiction, recovery, prison, and celebrity on Boy George's journey throughfame to finally embracing the man and artist that he is today: 'I went to a lot of trouble tocreate Boy George and then I went through a whole battle for years about not wanting to be him. Butnow I enjoy and embrace it in a way that I wasn't able to as a young person.... I'm learning to beGeorge Alan O'Dowd from Eltham who it turns out is quitean interesting person.'
With all the humour, honesty, sarcasm (and hats!) that you'd expect, Karma gives us a uniqueinsight 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 andthat 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. Whythe hell am I here? I would say lifeis the point of life.'
