Boy George: Karma
Join music icon Boy George in conversation to celebrate the publication of his latest book, Karma: The Definitive Autobiography.
In it he tells his story in full for the first time, from the beginnings of his music career in the late 1970s, through the hedonism of the 80s and 90s, to the resurgence he’s enjoying in the present day.
Expect an illuminating evening that lifts the lid on Boy George's life and career through the decades.
