A Culture Club Reunion Next Year? Depends on Boy George's 'Mood'

He isn't promising anything, but Boy George has said that his former band Culture Club may reunite in 2011 to mark the three decades since their formation.

"I think we could do a one-off gig or maybe a small tour," he told BBC. "It's our 30th anniversary next year, so we may do something."

The band is best known for their quintessential 1980's hits like 'Karma Chameleon' and 'Do You Really Want to Hurt Me.' Since breaking up in 1986, the band has reunited twice, with a tour in 1998 and a 20th anniversary concert at Royal Albert Hall in 2002. "Last time we re-formed, there was a point to it," Boy George said. "We'll see. It's all about my mood at the time," he added.

Lead singer Boy George, born George Alan O'Dowd, has been plagued with bad press in recent years for his run-ins with the law. In 2006, he was ordered by a judge to clean the streets of New York City as community service, and in 2009 he served four months in prison on assault charges.

But he wasn't eager to talk about that in his radio interview on Monday.

"Please don't ask me about it," he said when asked about the conviction. "Why should I [explain]?" he continued. "They [the listeners] don't need to know what I did."
