Boy George has announced his return with a new studio album, This Is What I Do, set for release later this year.
This is the first record of original material released by Culture Club’s former leader in two decades, and was showcased on Monday at his appearance at Yoko Ono’s Meltdown Festival in London.
It is produced by former collaborator Richie Stephens, and features several, as-yet-unnamed guest musicians with some intriguingly "expected to appear as George’s band on his live dates".
