Boy George clears the decks

Boy George has pulled his entire October tour with a statement:

"It is with regret that Boy George's October live dates will be cancelled until further notice. This is due to various other "last minute" commitments which unfortunately now clash with the UK dates.

"George would like to personally apologise to his fans and hopes to see you again very soon. Thank you for you continued support."

The use of quotation marks around last minute are George's own, perhaps acknowledging that if the gigs weren't due to take place for four months, it's a little early for pulling them at the last minute.
