Told in his inimitable style, \u003ci\u003eKarma \u003c\/i\u003etells 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis 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 expect, \u003ci\u003eKarma\u003c\/i\u003e gives us a unique insight into Boy George's incredible story and the true evolution of a music icon.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e'Culture Club is always going to be one of those lovers I go back to. I've railed against it and that Boy George character I created. For years I convinced myself I was a creature of habit, unchangeable, immovable. But eventually you have to look in the mirror. Not looking for spots, looking for something deeper. Why the hell am I here? I would say life is the point of life.'\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bonnier Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56977878155599,"sku":"9781785121289","price":18.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0061\/0372\/8217\/files\/9781785121289_1-karma.jpg?v=1770383103","url":"https:\/\/www.suomalainen.com\/products\/karma","provider":"Suomalainen.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
