Boy George has been having acting lessons to combat his stage fright.
The 60-year-old singer found his early nerves about getting up to perform returned on Culture Club s 2018 comeback tour Life but he s found having sessions with acting coach Charlie Walker-Wise have been really helpful.
He told Classic Pop magazine: I started feeling out of sorts when we played CarFest two years ago. It made me want to work on self-empowerment and strengthening my stage presence. Acting lessons have really suited me. When I first worked with Charlie, I told him how much I like being in control. Charlie told me that was a disaster, the worst place I could be was on stage. He s right.
Simon Cowell believes he can persuade One Direction to reunite.
The music mogul put Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson into the group on The X Factor 11 years ago, and though they ve been on indefinite hiatus and working on solo projects since 2016 - a year after Zayn quit - he still believes they ll be back on stage together again one day and he s sure he could talk them into it.
Speaking on Australian TV show Today , he said: “I think it will happen. If they got together, whether it is making records again or touring, it would be the most amazing thing. I’d love it to happen.
