Boy george

The singer spoke about his Jewish friends, his decision to speak out following October 7 and his song “We Will Dance Again.”

Boy George will perform at Menora Mivtachim Arena on November 4, with special guest Ivri Lider. A second concert, on November 7, will be dedicated to the Nova community and their families.

Boy George joins Eretz Nehederet for its final episode before Israel's elections, as the comedy show takes aim at Netanyahu, Eisenkot, campaign scandals, and political rivalries.

The announcement for the November 7 concert comes on the heels of a rapid sell-out of his first scheduled performance on November 4.

In November, when he performs at the same arena that Hynde did nine years ago, George will undoubtedly reenact the flag-waving scene, and the crowd will once again shake the rafters in pride.

The star has performed in Israel before, and last July he released "We Will Dance Again," a song inspired by the October 7 massacre and the Nova music festival.

A non-Jewish minority, including Boy George, Douglas Murray, and Mosab Hassan Yousef, stick to their principles, exemplifying true moral courage

Many praised Boy George, the flamboyant icon of the 1980s, for standing up for what he believed in despite knowing he would face criticism. Others mocked him.

Boy George defended his decision to release the song, saying he believes artists should be free to express their views even when they are unpopular.

In today’s climate, standing with Israel requires courage. When a Jew says these things, critics can dismiss them as tribal loyalty. When a non-Jew says them, they are harder to dismiss.
