Boy George - there's magic in that name. Although the 80s were a decade not lacking in flamboyant people, Boy George was one of the most colorful, extraordinary and dazzling of them all. New Wave is inextricably linked to his name, and the young New Romantics scene copied his style down to the last detail. His music made him immortal. Songs like Do You Really Want To Hurt Me?, It's A Miracle, and Karma Chameleon are still played on the radio today. This is by far the largest illustrated book available on Boy George. Its luxurious coffee table format and rich colouring make it a must-have-item for every true devotee. The renowned photographer Didi Zill got up close and personal with the star in the course of 13 photo sessions. His memories of these sessions accompany the photographs. This volume makes for an ideal present, bringing back colourful days long gone by.
