Just out of curiousity, when Boy George was on his heroin kick at Live Aid, what was that white, pasty stuff all over his face? He looked nasty!!

Probably "came" from his drummer...

I was at the philly even...brutal. So hot
my date almost passed out we had to leave.

But I was glad to see Madonna, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, although didnt even realize they played the Prince video
cause it was so low.

I remember seeing this on the front of the papers.

I believe it was nothing more sinister than flour.

come on...be serious--lol.

Cloudbuster said:

why would he have flour on his face?!

purplegypsy said:

'Cos he was on heroin and incredibly high. Apparantly he just covered himself with it and surprised the audience enough for it to make the papers. At least that was the story at the time.

wasn't he wearing a shirt that day that said "drug free"--oh man thank goodness he's off the drugs now--that day he passed out during that interview-what a nightmare...

I think it was cake makeup - very very popular amongst the drug culture back in the 80's; make yourself as pale as humanly possible.

I guess he just took it to the next level there...
