Description
Straight by Boy George and Paul Gorman A decade and a half ago, George was coming to terms with the fall-out from serious drug addiction, the failure of his relationship and the collapse of Culture Club. For lesser men this would have been the end, but for George it became the start of a remarkable period of reinvention. Told with George's trademark wit, brutal honesty and sparkling insight, this book reveals the whole story, reappraising his rise to stardom and all the madness that followed. He talks about his solo singing career, his initiation into dance music, and his role as the driving force behind theatrical sensation Taboo. George also discusses the achievement of reuniting Culture Club, an apparently impossible task. Now, many years on from the glittering Eighties, George makes an insightful and often hilarious assessment of the impact of that extraordinary era.
