Days after the release of Boy George 's controversial pro Israel song, "We Will Dance Again," the singer has withdrawn from the Jesus Christ Superstar revival on London's West End.
The singer's manager Paul Kemsley announced the news on social media Thursday. "After careful consideration, I have decided, in my capacity as Boy George's manager, that he will no longer be appearing in Jesus Christ Superstar at the London Palladium," Kemsley wrote, adding that the decision was "made with the utmost respect for the producers, the creative team and the entire company."
For fans that were hopeful to see George perform, the artist's manager offered their "sincere apologies for the disappointment this decision may cause, and we are deeply grateful for their continued loyalty and support."
"George has never been afraid to stand by his personal convictions, and I have always respected him for that," Kemsley continued. "Equally, I believe it is my responsibility to make decisions that are in the best interests of my artist while also showing respect to others. In this instance, I felt it was right to step aside, allowing the production to remain the focus, while ensuring everyone involved can move forward with mutual respect and goodwill."
