Boy George visits Nova massacre site in Israel and says he was horrified by claims October 7 never happened

Culture Club frontman Boy George, 65, met Nova survivors, former hostages and bereaved families at the Re'im massacre site on Tuesday, saying people denying the attack had happened horrified him even more than the attack itself. He performed in Tel Aviv on Wednesday night, with a second concert on November 7 dedicated entirely to the Nova community.

Boy George's new song 'We Will Dance Again' opens with the line 'You say genocide, I say war' — he says he researched the term and finds it 'not appropriate' for Israel's Gaza campaign.

He donated 1,500 tickets for the November 7 show to survivors and bereaved families, including former hostage Omer Shem Tov, held in Gaza for 505 days.

Boy George told reporters he believes the song eclipses 'Karma Chameleon', adding: 'I need to do something about what I feel deeply inside.'
