You'll remember that Boy George dissed the new singer with the reformed (without George) Culture Club, because we reported on it some time ago. Sam Butcher, recruited to the group via an audition, responded pretty immediately to George's comments that he is really awful, but now drummer Jon Moss has made some comments too. Took his time, didn't he? Moss told the AP: "We've never said anything about George, because George has always been George," but added "This has gone too far."
The band are also annoyed with George for accepting a songwriting award for 'Karma Chameleon' at the recent Q Awards. Bassist Mikey Craig said: "We should have been there. George wasn't the sole writer of the song. We wrote collectively. At the end of the day, Culture Club was very much ours as well as George's. He was the visual impact that everyone got, but there was a hell of a lot behind it".
Moss also responded to claims in George's autobiography, 'Take It Like A Man', that he was ashamed of the romantic relationship between the pair. Now married with children, the drummer said: "I'm not ashamed of anything. My parents, all my friends knew. There's no problem there. He's like a nightmare ex-wife. This guy's being rude about me all the time. I've lived with it for years and I've just had enough".
