Boy George has withdrawn from Jesus Christ Superstar at the London Palladium following backlash over a pro-Israel song he shared on social media, with his manager confirming that the singer will no longer appear in the production.
The announcement was made on Thursday, 30 July, just days after the Culture Club frontman posted the AI-generated track Od Nirkod (We Will Dance Again) on X. The song quickly sparked criticism online, prompting calls for protests outside the theatre and placing the West End production at the centre of a political controversy.
