Boy George's appearance in a Manhattan court over those previously reported drugs charges has been adjourned until next year. As you will recall, he was charged with drugs possession back in October after he called police to report a burglary at his home. Police attending the star's flat found a small amount of cocaine beside a computer, which he denies all knowledge of.
The singer, aka George O'Dowd, was said to be in England when Criminal Court Judge Patricia Nunez granted the postponement yesterday at the request of both prosecution and defence lawyers in the case. He will now appear in court on 1 Feb. George's lawyer Lewis Freeman says that no plea negotiations have taken place yet, and explained to reporters that his client was excused the court date as he is working on literary and recording projects in the UK.
