Boy George splits with label after pro-Israel track clash
TL;DR
Boy George says he has parted ways with Tony Pontius, who runs his label BGP, after Pontius refused to release the pro-Israel song 'We Will Dance Again'; George posted that Pontius was 'unequivocal' and said 'I want nothing to do with this song,' prompting George to declare 'we are done' and vow to release the track. The song, reportedly created with AI, has drawn criticism, but George frames it as pro-peace and says it was inspired by the Nova Music Festival attack, while he has also withdrawn from a London Palladium performance.
