British pop star Boy George abruptly cut short a visit to Turkey and left the country about 30 minutes after arriving there, deterred by media interest, local newspapers reported yesterday. He was due to give three concerts at a large discotheque in Bodrum, in southeast Turkey, and had said he did not want to be filmed or photographed on his arrival at Istanbul airport, Milliyet said. But once through immigration formalities he was confronted by photographers and had to hide his face behind a copy of the magazine Gay.
He made immediately for the British Airways counter and bought a ticket home, said Hurriyet. Shortly afterwards he left Istanbul aboard the aircraft on which he had arrived, rather to the surprise of the officials who had just seen him land.
"Who was that masked, uhhh... man?"
The "news" in this item is that he's still around. Who'da thunkit? |
