Overview
- In late July Boy George posted an AI‑assisted reggae track called 'We Will Dance Again' (Hebrew עוד נרקוד) and said he would press to release it despite backlash.
- The song's lyrics reference the Oct. 7 Nova festival attack and include lines that reject descriptions of genocide in Gaza, drawing public criticism from fellow musicians.
- After the post Boy George announced he had parted ways with longtime BGP manager Tony Pontius and withdrew from a scheduled run in Jesus Christ Superstar at the London Palladium, with manager Paul Kemsley saying the exit was to protect the production.
- Bandcamp deactivated Boy George’s profile and the track has been removed from major streaming services, actions outlets link to platform policies on AI‑generated content though companies have not issued detailed public explanations.
- George says he will re‑record the song and seek independent distribution, a development that highlights wider questions about how labels, managers and platforms handle polarizing political speech and AI‑assisted music and that may affect other artists' choices and distributors' policies.
