Adding insult to poor Boy George’s self-induced career injury, Culture Club are apparently looking for a new singer.
According to RememberTheEighties.com, an advertisement from Belerion Records has been circulating on the internet which states that the “original members of Culture Club are searching for a unique star vocalist” and are not interested in Boy George clones but instead want a “charismatic & unique performer in his or her own right with something truly fresh, contemporary and original to offer.” The advert also states that the singer is wanted for a world tour and TV series in 2007.
Okay, I know it worked for INXS, but, come on, if it wasn’t for Boy George, Culture Club wouldn’t have made it any bigger than, say, Roman Holliday. He WAS that band. This smacks of desperation worse than any move by any ’80s band that I can think of…and, baby, that’s saying a lot.
