Culture Club, the ’80s pop band behind “Karma Chameleon” and “Do You Really Want To Hurt Me,” announced in August that it would be recording a new album and performing a bunch of shows in November. But on the cusp of those concerts—which were to begin this week—the band has cancelled, issuing a statement that frontman Boy George has a polyp on his throat. The new album, Tribes, is still due early next year, and the band hopes to make up the dates then as well. There’s a new song below, on which George’s voice sound pretty different than it did in the band’s heyday.
