Boy George offers support to former rival George Michael

POP legend Boy George has offered his support to jailed former rival George Michael.

The former Birmingham-based singer has spent time behind bars himself – and was caged last year for falsely imprisoning a male escort.

George told the Sunday Mercury: “It’s sad about George Michael getting prison. I wish him love and strength, we’ve kissed and made up.”

He added: “I know George needs help but it’s not a time for sanctimonious comments.

“Let’s wish him well and try to live better lives ourselves.”
