Como fan de Culture Club, poder ver el interior del grupo, desde su momento de formación, pasando por el romance de George y Jon (que muchos de sus fans dábamos por sentado), hasta llegar al momento de la caída fue emotivo, interesante y fuerte.In 1986, keyboardist Michael Rudetsky, who co-wrote the song "Sexuality" on Culture Club's From Luxury to Heartache album, was found dead of a heroin overdose in Boy George's London home. [98] Boy George's friend, Mark Vaultier, died after an overdose of methadone and Valium at a party.
