Additional Information

Culture Club is a new-wave pop group formed in London in 1981. The band is best known for hits including "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me" and "Karma Chameleon." However, during their early days, the media often focused on the boundary-pushing androgyny of lead singer Boy George. His makeup, long hair, and eclectic clothing drew both admiration and ire. In one infamous incident, Boy George was refused entry to France by airport personnel unless he agreed to change into "male apparel."
