Boy George declares himself “free” man after electronic tag removal
September 2nd, 2009 - 5:20 pm ICT by ANIWashington, September 2 (ANI): Shamed pop star Boy George has declared himself a “free” man after jail authorities removed his electronic tag.
The 47-year-old star was jailed in January for falsely imprisoning a male escort in his flat and beating the 29-year-old after a drug-fuelled nude photo shoot in 2007.
The former Culture Club singer, born as George O’Dowd, was granted early release in May for his good behaviour, but was let off with an ankle monitoring tag and a curfew, reports Contactmusic.
George posted pictures of his celebration with family on his Twitter page after the prison officials recently took off his tag.
He wrote, “In the words of (British actor) John Inman ‘I’m free!’ Me and the whole family celebrating in the kitchen, so sweet for my mum and sister to come for the un-tagging! I’m so excited to just be able to work!” (ANI)
