Boy George Hangs Up On Aussie Radio Host During Interview: 'You're Boring Me'

Boy George has hung up on an Australian radio host during an interview this morning after becoming irritated with questioning about "gender bending".

As News Corp reports, the Culture Club frontman was being interviewed by ABC Radio's Fran Kelly about the band's upcoming tour, before the conversation went in a different direction. 

"Talking about your look, talking about the sensation you were because of your make-up, your clothes, your outrageousness," Kelly said.

"I don’t remember if you were openly gay back then but, like David Bowie before you, you were certainly celebrated for being ‘gender bending’. You were a ‘gender bender’."

George quickly shut down the comment, saying, "You keep referring to me in past context and we’re actually talking in real time."

Kelly then responded, "Yes, but maybe now times have moved on and the gender bending is not such a surprise, but back then it was", adding, "Were you aware of the impact of that on kids?”

After pausing for a moment, George concluded, "You're boring me, goodbye", then hung up. 

Taking to Twitter a few hours later to address the interview. 

"Sometimes it feels like a person has a rigid script and a view of you that is fixed," he tweeted.

"It was zero to do with the questions. Maybe next time we will meet in person. Maybe not. It was a moment. It's over. Peace!"
