Boy George & Culture Club news

The band finally has another release date for its much-delayed reunion album. I've heard a couple of the new songs during concert reviews I've done in recent years (see elsewhere on this blog) and was impressed. Get the lowdown below...

Boy George and Culture Club have released their brand new single “Let Somebody Love You” https://BGCC.lnk.to/LSLYPR­.

It was produced by Future Cut and written by the original line up of Boy George, Roy Hay, Michael Craig, Jon Moss and Ritchie Stevens. The single unveiling precedes the news that the band will be releasing new album Life on Oct. 26. The album artwork was shot exclusively by Rankin.

Since their inception in 1981 Culture Club have sold more than 150 million records worldwide, recognized as a Grammy Award winning UK institution with a stream of classic hits including; “Do You Really Want to Hurt Me,” “Karma Chameleon,” “Church Of The Poison Mind,” “Victims,” “It’s A Miracle” and “The War Song.”

As the first multi-racial band with an openly gay front man, Culture Club set many records and established themselves as icons of British musical history and popular culture. The band reunited in 2014 and embarked on two worldwide sell-out tours over the following two years.

Looking ahead, 2018 marks a new era for Boy George and Culture Club, releasing their first new music in nearly 21 years alongside commencing on a global tour throughout the Summer, before bringing the ‘The Life Tour’ to the UK in November.

The Life Tour: starring Boy George & Culture Club features Belinda Carlisle, Thompson Twins’ Tom Bailey and The B-52's on selected dates. Check local listings for details.
