But now I enjoy and embrace it in a way that I wasn't able to as a young person.... I'm finally learning to be George Alan O'Dowd from Eltham.'Karma is the definitive autobiography from the incomparable Grammy, Brit and Ivor Novello award-winning lead singer of Culture Club and LGBTQ+ vanguard: Boy George.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTold in his inimitable style, Karma tells the story of the charismatic frontman - the drama, the music, his journey of addiction and recovery, surviving prison, meeting legends like David Bowie, Prince and Madonna, and the highs and lows of a life lived in the spotlight and in the headlines. This is the explosive and searingly honest account of Boy George's life as a child growing up in sixties London, coming out to his Irish Catholic family and exploring his sexuality through the hedonism of the seventies - the glam rock and punk rock revolution that birthed Culture Club - and the heydays of the nineties, to finally embracing the man and artist that he is today. With all the humour, honesty, sarcasm (and hats!) that you'd e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003expect, Karma gives us a unique insight into Boy George's incredible story and the true evolution of a music icon.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e'Culture Club is always going to be one of those lovers I go back to.
