Singer's trial date is set | 29 février 2008

 British singer George O'Dowd, professionally known as Boy ...

THE 80s star Boy George admitted he did “imprison” a male escort - but will claim he had a “lawful excuse”, a court heard today.

The singer is accused of chaining 28-year-old Norwegian Audan Carlsen to a wall with home made hand cuffs at his east London flat in Shoreditch.

But his defence team say he will claim he had a “lawful excuse” which is yet to be disclosed.

George, 46, appearing under his real name George O'Dowd, was ordered to stand trial for false imprisonment after denying the charge when he appeared at Snaresbrook Crown Court today.

He spoke quietly to confirm his name and plead “not guilty” to a charge alleging that he “assaulted and unlawfully and injuriously imprisoned and detained Audun Carlsen against his will” on April 28 last year.

The portly popstar turned DJ, dressed all in black and sporting strange red and green tattoos on his bald head, sat in the dock nervously chewing his lips through his 20 minute court appearance.

Judge David Radford asked the singer's barrister Adrian Waterman QC about the defence case saying: “The defence is lawful excuse?” Mr Waterman replied: “Yes”.

The judge added: “The imprisonment is admitted but it is said there was a lawful reason for the imprisonment?”.

Again the QC replied: “Yes”.

The singer now faces a five day trial starting on November 24.

But he stopped for a cigarette on the steps of the courthouse and posed for photographs with two female fans who had travelled to support him at his date in court before he was driven away in a black people carrier.

Russian Yulya, 31, who was there with a blonde German pal said afterwards: “He thanked us for coming. He knows us because we have been supporting him for years. He seemed ok.”

Boy George denies assaulting escort / Boy George nie avoir séquestré un homme | 28 février 2008

 Boy George nie avoir séquestré un homme 

Boy George a nié avoir séquestré un homme de 28 ans à sa résidence l'an dernier. Jeudi, l'ancien chanteur de Culture Club a plaidé non coupable à des accusations de séquestration lors d'une audience du tribunal qui a eu lieu à Londres.

Audun Carlsen, un homme d'origine norvégienne, prétend que Boy George l'a menotté après qu'il se soit rendu à l'appartement londonien du chanteur. Il s'y rendait pour travailler comme mannequin pour une séance de photos. L'incident serait survenu en avril dernier.

Boy George est apparu à la Cours sous son vrai nom qui est George O'Dowd. L'artiste de 46 ans est libre sous caution. Son procès aura lieu le 24 novembre 2008.

Singer Boy George has pleaded not guilty to a charge of false imprisonment.

The pop-star and DJ appeared at Snaresbrook Crown Court, in east London, accused of assaulting and imprisoning a male escort on April 28 last year.

It is claimed he chained escort Audun Carlsen to the wall of his home in Ravey Street, Shoreditch, east London.

The 46-year-old, who shot to fame in the 1980s with Culture Club, stood outside the court and smoked a cigarette before entering the building.

Dressed in black and wearing dark glasses, the singer was listed in court under his real name George O'Dowd.

During the 20-minute hearing, O'Dowd spoke only to confirm his name, state his not guilty plea and say he understood the terms of his bail.

The singer spent time talking with lawyers before leaving the court building, thanking fans who turned up to offer support.

He said only "no comment" to waiting press before leaving in a black Volkswagen people carrier.

O'Dowd was bailed to reappear for trial at the same court on November 24.

BY GEORGE, THIS BOY CAN SING! | 21 février 2008

It's Difficult to say whether it was unexpected or not, but at the Victoria Hall last night Boy George presented a show that was nothing short of brilliant.Simple, unpretentious and possibly underrated, it was pure quality music from start to finish and for some, like myself, it was a night that cast away many previous misconceptions.

First and foremost, bad press aside, Boy George can really sing. Smooth and seductive, his voice is versatile enough to adapt to the multitude of styles he incorporated into his set. From classic pop to jazz, reggae and even gospel, his sound is distinctive, controlled and a pleasure to listen to.

With a theatre that showed a bounty of empty seats, expectations were of a dreary concert lacking in atmosphere and energy. But as soon as Boy George walked on stage, these thoughts were immediately forgotten.

Everything about the evening pointed towards a fantastic night - people loved every minute.

After a couple of bluesy jazz numbers and a song from his musical Taboo, it didn't take long for members of the audience to get up out of their seats.

And with the introduction of Do You Really Want To Hurt Me, the feel-good factor rose dramatically.

While many see his life and appearance as flamboyant, Boy George's current tour, Songs To Make You Laugh And Cry, was simplicity at it's best. Music was at the core and with a band as good as the one he shared the stage with, not to mention the sensational backing singers who were well worthy of the solo numbers they presented, Boy George should be credited with stripping it bare and daring to show raw talent.

Lots of familiar songs filled the night, including the crowd-pleasing Karma Chameleon, Everything I Own and This Little Light Of Mine.

But what truly stood out was just how good this guy actually is.

Beneath all the hype and publicity lies a soulful voice that deserves to be heard.
