To celebrate the birth of a new Amsterdam institution, AM has invited the massively influential Boy George for a rare and exclusive DJ set.

As an artist and musician, the former culture club frontman is often credited with being one of the most significant figures of modern popular music, and has since gone on to become a massively successful House DJ and producer, performing continuously at the biggest clubs across the globe.

Once quoted as saying “I always loathe to say I don't play this or that; I play what works”, this rare opportunity to catch him at the official AM opening party on Friday 20th July is sure to be eclectic, exhilarating and unmissable.

When Kylie Minogue sees these comments that her former friend and colleague Boy George made about her and others on his fansite, there probably won't be any more hugging going on!

What the hell was he thinking?!

"REGARDING THE COMMENTS POSTED BY 'WALT' AND TO MY GREAT SURPRISE AND SADNESS, 'JOHN THEMIS' I FIND IT BEWILDERING AND TRAGIC. IT IS NOT AN ACT OF FRIENDSHIP TO AIR PERSONAL DIFFERENCES ON THE FORUM WHEN JOHN HAS MY PHONE NUMBER AND UNTIL RECENTLY MY LOVE AND RESPECT. WALT WAS CONFUSED AS TO WHETHER HE WAS PLAYING SERPENT OR SAINT. WHAT HE MEANT BY 'ALMOST AN ADDICT' AND THE MORONIC COMMENTS ABOUT 'MY DUNGEON' I HAVE NO CLUE BUT CLEARLY HE WAS NOT BEING LOVING OR HELPFUL. HIS FINAL DIG ABOUT MY BEING RUDE TO HIS FRIEND 'WILLIAM' (KYLIES STYLIST) WAS YET AGAIN ILL INFORMED SINCE I HAD A HUGE FALL OUT WITH BOTH WILLIAM AND KYLIE BECAUSE THEY WERE BOTH RUDE AND DISRESPECTFUL AND KYLIE IS NOT NINA SIMONE!"

It looks like Boy George's trousers are in wad after Kylie's record company didn't pick-up the songs that she collaborated with Georgie on.... awww maybe a rent boy can make it all better?!

THE BRAZIL

Asked on that to remembers had of Brazil, it it broke off conversation.
"the remembers that I have of the places with this life race are of the people with who work in the production of the events. It does not give time to know much thing. In my music I have many elements of Brazilian music, but different of the DJs Brazilian, that has a very tribal base, I am an English DJ and what I go to touch he is the same that I make dj set in England ".

MTV AND INTERNET

"I started at a time where still it did not have InterNet. Who had the paper to present the artists to the public one was the MTV and finds that it was a tremendous step behind. With the MTV, the emotion it started to lose importance. The main age to have great nippels, none did not matter not to have voice. I find that the InterNet is going for the same way, valuing more the fame of that the art. I do not want to be famous. I prefer to be interesting ".

Perhaps either my next job ", laughs.

HOMOSEXUALISM

Assumed homosexual, the English DJ says if to worry in separating the civil laws of the homosexuals of the flags well that supposedly would have to raise for being one.
"the only thing that I can say in favor of the marriage gay is: if they marry.
When people speak badly of somebody are because in the deep one, we want to be equal it. Most legal of being gay she is to be different. I do not want to promote a war between who is hetero or who is gay. I find that who is gay would have more to be hetero and who is hetero would have more to be gay ".
For placing considered videos gays excessively in the YouTube, the DJ finished being censured, and diverse of its films they had been taken off of air.

It was a disaster. You it could not place one another person in the Beatles. A band does not function thus ".
