- Boy George received a lifetime achievement award at the British LGBT Awards in central London, presented by French fashion designer Jean Paul Gaultier.
- Boy George also won the music artist of the year award, beating Charli XCX and Doja Cat.
- Boy George said the honour was a "genuine surprise" and praised Gaultier as a "beautiful man" who has supported him in Paris and London.
- Boy George recently performed as a guest on San Marino's Eurovision entry but failed to reach the final, and he said he wants to write the UK's 2027 entry rather than perform it.
Why it matters: The award boosts Boy George's cultural legacy, reinforces LGBT community pride, and gives him a platform to shape the UK's 2027 Eurovision selection as he seeks to write the entry.
