«anyway, I always feel out-of-frame but what a beautiful theater you have there ! And I would like to clarify : I come from Cannes and Monaco, so I can’t be impressed»

And then Boy George, 57 years old, full of charm in her make-up pressed and its hats off to the Geneviève Fontenay has shown to be deeply funny and friendly and put the room in the pocket. «I know that I will be criticized for being there,» he dédramatisé the microphone. «Anyway, I always feel out-of-frame but what a beautiful theater you have there! And I would like to clarify: I come from Cannes and Monaco, so I can’t be impressed», he added, pivoting on his tennis silver. The latter resistors are permanently gone when the big boy of Bexley has announced that this evening necessarily «fabulous», he felt like Shirley Bassey.

Well decided to revive Club Culture with her new album Life (BMG) and a world tour of the same name, Boy George was given the means to succeed.
Her repeatedly in the end of the concert Let’s Dance of his idol David Bowie and then the very rock Get it on of T. Rex have been completed to arouse the room and its French producer Gérard Drouot. Internationally, as in Paris, the critics are unanimous. If he comes back on stage in France, go there with your eyes closed.
