With four decades of music industry experience under his belt, Boy George has a few things to say about his fellow artists.
The Culture Club singer chatted with Billy Bush and Kit Hoover on Access Hollywood Live about his new album, “This Is What I Do,” and also weighed on some of today’s biggest music artists.
On Justin Bieber & Miley Cyrus’ “Boy-Girl Thing”: “[Justin Bieber] is gorgeous! … I was in the store the other day and I was looking at Miley Cyrus and I was thinking, actually she has a kind of androgyny about her and similarly does Justin Bieber. And I think some of the biggest kind of stars have that kind of boy-girl thing.”

On Not Giving Advice To Young Artists: “The thing about sort of giving advice to young stars, they’re not gonna listen to me are they? I wouldn’t listen to them. I always think I hope they make it…through whatever they’re going through.”
On Who Has Managed To “Keep It Together” Best: “Probably Kylie Minogue… the other night, I gave her an award and I was saying she’s become a kind of gay icon without falling apart, which is unbelievable. Usually when you become a female gay icon, you’re sort of a drunk or you’ve like been divorced 50 times… even Madonna has, you know, kept it together.”

On His Past Romantic Relationship With Culture Club’s Jon Moss… Who Later Married A Woman: “Our relationship is like a mystery. It’s like, we know it happened, but there’s not really proof anymore, it’s kind of weird. We’re really good friends now. One of the great things is when you can grow up a bit and then of sort of be friends with the people you went out with. I have like three or four ex-lovers that I’m really good friends with and I’m probably better friends with them, now that we’re not lovers, than we were when we were together.”
