Boy George will no longer appear as King Herod in Jesus Christ Superstar at the London Palladium, days after releasing his pro-Israel song 'We Will Dance Again.' His manager Paul Kemsley announced the withdrawal without explicitly linking it to the song, saying it came after 'careful consideration.'
The withdrawal comes days after the release of his song 'We Will Dance Again,' which pays tribute to the victims of the October 7 Hamas massacre and rejects accusations of genocide against Israel. As The Zioneer reported on July 28, the song features Hebrew lyrics and a message of support for Israel and Jews. Kemsley said the decision was made after 'careful consideration' and emphasized that Boy George has never been afraid to stand by his personal convictions. No further details about the withdrawal were provided.
