You won’t believe what the Karma Chameleon singer said as a reaction!
Boy George opened up about the death threats he received during the height of Culture Club‘s success in the 80s.
Appearing on Piers Morgan’s Life Stories, the 55-year-old singer revealed he received threatening letters during his career– to the point that he wore a bulletproof vest in fear for his life.
“It was Halloween, and people called up and said they were gonna shoot me,” he explained. “I was thinking, ‘I can’t cancel the gig so I’d better wear a bulletproof vest’.”
He also told Piers Morgan about the numerous countries from which he was banned from entering, and how so many of his TV appearances were restricted. “People didn’t want to interview me. They didn’t want to have me on kids’ shows – people reacted not so well to us being on Top Of The Pops,” George said.
Morgan asked about the reasons behind the negative reactions – asking whether it was his sexuality or his appearance. Boy George replied: “I think take your pick really.”
