Boy George Responds to ‘Recycling’ Kylie Minogue’s ‘Tension’ Artwork

“I’m recycling everything. It’s all the rage. Even fashion is catching on?," writes Boy George on X.

The former Culture Club frontman this week shared the standalone single “Religion,” one of two songs included in the audiobook of his 2023 memoir Karma: My Autobiography(the other, “Suddenly I’m Wiser,” is not widely available on streaming platforms). In response to one particularly agitated comment, he assured the copycat image was “utter genius.” He returned serve on one poster who described the artwork as “pathetic,” and quipped that he “broke wind,” a retort to a Daily Mail headline which reads, “Boy George breaks silence after ‘copying’ Kylie’s album cover. When the band was dissolved in 1986, George embarked on a solo career, which was briefly derailed by substance abuse, controversy and legal problems, before the singer reinvented himself as a club DJ, returned to the stage and studio, and found regular work on reality TV.
