Culture Club, featuring pop icon Boy George, announced Thursday that they are canceling their North American tour, which included a performance at Chumash Casino Resort’s Samala Showroom on Nov. 20.
The band’s publicist has released the following statement:
“It is with great regret that the members of Culture Club have announced the cancellation of the tour in North America scheduled for November 2014.
“It became necessary to do so this week after a top throat specialist discovered a polyp in George’s throat. The specialist advised him that he cannot sing under his condition as it may necessitate an operation. George and the band are devastated by this news, and so it is with much regret that the tour is canceled until further notice.”
