The Madness of Boy George

The Madness of Boy George

Boy George

Back in August 2006, George found himself once again thrust into the glare of the world's press over drug allegations. Facing a possible 20-year prison sentence for cocaine possession, George was given five days' community service for wasting police time, sweeping the streets of New York.

In just over 20 years, Boy George had gone from being a global pop star to a street cleaner. The Madness of Boy George is an intimate account of George's life: his glory years as leader of Culture Club, his subsequent creative success, his punishment in New York, and his return to Britain.

Along the way, the programme reveals the truth behind Culture Club's success and George's chaotic emotional life, and includes a series of searingly honest and shocking revelations.
