But now I enjoy and embrace it in a way that I wasn’t able to as a young person…. I’m learning to be George Alan O’Dowd from Eltham who it turns out is quite an interesting person.’ With all the humour, honesty, sarcasm (and hats!) that you’d expect, Karma gives us a unique insight into Boy George’s incredible story and the true evolution of a music icon”–Publisher’s description.
