Singer Boy George has developed a throat condition which has led to his re-formed group Culture Club pulling out of a US and UK tour.
The star needs treatment for a polyp which has led to the dates − due to begin in Glasgow next month − being cancelled, although they are hoping to reschedule. It would have been the Karma Chameleon hitmakers’ first tour together for 12 years.
George said he was devastated, adding: “I want to be able to perform to the best of my ability and the specialist has told me that right now that will be impossible. I will focus on getting better and see all my fans soon.”
