Boy George has withdrawn from a London production of Jesus Christ Superstar just days before he was scheduled to play King Herod, following backlash over his release of a pro-Israel song. The former Culture Club singer released the AI-assisted track “We Will Dance Again,” which minimizes Palestinian suffering, praises Israeli military actions in Gaza, disputes accusations of genocide, and refers to pro-Palestine supporters as “sheep.” The decision was announced by his manager, Paul Kemsley, who stated on social media that George would no longer appear in the revival at the London Palladium. In a post on X, George addressed the controversy, writing that “It doesn’t matter what I think or what you think.” The withdrawal comes amid ongoing tensions over the Israel-Hamas war, with the song drawing widespread criticism for its political stance. The production, a revival of the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical, had been set to feature Boy George in the role of King Herod.
