| Boy George |
Born George O'Dowd in Eltham, he has achieved success as the frontman of 80s pop band Culture Club, a solo singer and more recently a leading club DJ.
As well as his musical accomplishments, Boy George is also known for hitting the headlines in other ways.
In 1986 a scandal broke when keyboard player Michael Rudetski died of a heroin overdose while staying at Boy George's home. George was arrested on a charge of possession of cannabis, resulting in successful treatment for his drug dependence.
George's outspoken opposition to the Conservative government's anti-homosexual bill, Clause 28, triggered a series of releases damning the bill.
