The internationally acclaimed, multi-platinum selling Boy George and Culture Club have announced its first North American tour in 14 years with all four original members. The iconic foursome, Boy George (lead vocals), Mikey Craig (bass guitar), Roy Hay (guitar and keyboards) and Jon Moss (drums and percussion), will perform all of their greatest hits plus new songs from its forthcoming fall release, "Tribes."?

Culture Club has sold in excess of 100 million singles and over 50 million albums, and was one of the biggest pop bands of the 1980s. The Grammy Award winning group catapulted into the charts with such hit songs as "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me", "I'll Tumble 4 Ya", and "Karma Chameleon."

Mikey Craig, Roy Hay, Jon Moss and Boy George were the first group since the Beatles to have three Top 10 smashes in America from a debut album. For the first time in more than 14 years, the band members will be performing together with favorites from albums including Do You Really Want to Hurt Me and Colour By Numbers, as well as Tribes, their latest release.

Culture Club participated in the Band Aid recording of the internationally renowned song "Do They Know It's Christmas?" for famine relief in 1984 and reunited in 1998, releasing the two-disc VH1 Storytellers/Greatest Hits.

Last week, Boy George was featured as a mentor on the popular Fox Television show American Idol.
