Boy George has withdrawn from his scheduled appearance in Jesus Christ Superstar over pro-Israel controversy. Paul said on Instagram: “After careful consideration, I have decided, in my capacity as Boy George’s manager, that he will no longer be appearing in Jesus Christ Superstar at the London Palladium. Paul apologised to those who had bought tickets to see Boy George perform. Elsewhere in the song, Boy George sings: “Young girls raped against trees / Murdered brutally / For the crime of dancing.” Representing San Marino, Boy George said: “I have many, many Jewish friends that I’ve had since I was 15 or 16 years old.
