A bloated yet defiant Boy George sings in the face of a jail sentence

Despite facing possible jail time after being convicted of imprisoning a male escort, Boy George put on his glad rags and performed at the London club The Pigalle last night. The singer put on a brave face after being told by a court that he will be probably serve a prison sentence after a jury convicted him of handcuffing Norwegian Audun Carlsen to a wall at his flat.

According to reports: “The singer also beat Carlsen, 29, with a metal chain as he tried to escape from the flat in Shoreditch, East London after a kinky photographic session, Snaresbrook Crown Court heard. Mr Carlsen fled in his underpants and alerted police.”

Boy George – real name George O’ Dowd – faces sentencing on January 16th.

    Methinks Boy George now looks just like the late lamented George Melly!

    [...] Boy George is none too happy about the fact that he is likely headed to jail soon. And it shows. It really shows. Mr. Karma Chameleon, 47, was convicted last month after a male escort accused him of chaining him to the wall and whipping him. Yesterday the former Culture Club frontman was spotted looking exhausted, sad and…well, huge. The judge in the case warned George that he should expect jail time for the crime, so maybe that’s what has gotten him so down. The maximum sentence that he could face for the charges is life in prison. Maybe he’ll find a jail with a nice gym, because it really looks like he could use a workout. Old George O’Dowd is a far cry from that sprightly Boy of the eighties. George allegedly handcuffed the escort to the wall because he thought he had hacked into his computer. He denies that he swung a chain or punched the man, but somehow the escort escaped, running away in only his underpants and quickly calling the police. Sorry, George, but it looks like soon you’ll just be another inmate, who’ll come and go. You’ll come and go. [...]
