Love the Greatest Healer

Product Information

A collaboration with electronic combo T–Total, the album was a collection of covers of songs by David Bowie, John Lennon, Dusty Springfield, T. Boy George's music features several genres, including pop, new wave, soul, soft rock, disco and reggae.

In 2014, Boy George suffered from a haemorrhaged polyp on his vocal cords, resulting in the cancellation of a Culture Club reunion tour.Just like me, he got on with the job and tried not to let the media get to him as they dragged all the stuff out about his illness from the 1980s. I learned to let him rant until he'd spent himself, but of course I didn't learn that at the beginning.

BOY George's mother, Dinah O'Dowd, suffered the worst humiliations and both physical and mental abuse for the best part of 40 years.She was five months pregnant and cowered to protect their unborn child, but it took her some time to calm him down. Of course, the Boy George connection is going to attract attention - indeed he has written an emotional foreword to the book, in which he talks about pleading with her to leave his violent father. These materials are used to create his work across a wide range of disciplines include painting, drawing, sculpture, digital art, short films, installation, poetry and song.

As of 2012 [update], Boy George has credited his practice of Nichiren Buddhism and chanting Nam Myōhō Renge Kyō for his newfound spiritual strength to remain sober. George, the son who was to become world-famous, started off as a colourful eccentric on the new romantic club scene. In 1989, Boy George formed his own record label, More Protein, and began recording under the name Jesus Loves You, writing under the pseudonym Angela Dust, a word play on angel dust. His solo hit songs include " Everything I Own", " Bow Down Mister", " Generations of Love" and " Love Is Leaving" and " The Crying Game", from the soundtrack for the film of the same name. Marketing posters and ads made smoking seem sophisticated and debonair, while the reality was early death or a life of addiction.

In January 2016, Boy George joined the fifth series of The Voice UK, replacing Tom Jones as a mentor. Proceeds from the song were donated to feed famine victims in Africa during the 1984–1985 famine in Ethiopia. I remember the first time I saw George acting strangely, I said, 'What's that Oxo cube you've got there? Once I grew up a bit, I realised that Mum had stuck out the marriage for her kids and because she truly loved my father and believed in the sanctity of marriage.

His family would later be pushed into the limelight in the early 80’s, when his brother George formed the iconic group Culture Club. She tried to help him recover from the heroin-fuelled drugs spiral which he descended into during the mid-80s following his break-up with Culture Club drummer Jon Moss. With Boy George's subsequent drug addiction, the underwhelming performance of their last two albums, a soured romance between band members shrouded in secrecy, and a wrongful death lawsuit looming, the group ultimately disbanded.
