HKBritish singer Boy George has withdrawn from a West End production of the musical 'Jesus Christ Superstar' following backlash over his recent pro-Israel song titled 'We Will Dance Again.' The song includes lines such as 'you say genocide, I say war' and 'when you're attacked, that's what the army's for,' which sparked controversy. Boy George, known for his work with the 1980s band Culture Club, stated through his manager that he would no longer appear in the London Palladium production. The song was released amid ongoing tensions related to the conflict between Israel and Hamas, particularly in the aftermath of Hamas's October 7, 2023 attack on a music festival in Israel, which resulted in over 1,200 casualties according to AFP reports.
