UK singer Boy George pulls out of London musical after pro-Israel song backlash
British singer Boy George has pulled out of a West End production of the musical Jesus Christ Superstar after facing a backlash for releasing a pro-Israel song, We Will Dance Again.
The 65-year-old musician “will no longer be appearing in Jesus Christ Superstar at the London Palladium”, his manager Paul Kemsley said on social media.
The singer, whose real name is George Alan O’Dowd, rose to fame in the 1980s as the flamboyant singer of the pop band Culture Club.
This week he released a song supporting Israel and its war in Gaza, with lyrics including “you say genocide, I say war” and “when you’re attacked, that’s what the army’s for”.
The title is a phrase used to express solidarity after Hamas’s October 7, 2023 attack on a music festival and other Israeli communities in Israel in which 1,221 people were killed, according to an Agence France-Presse (AFP) tally based on official data.
