Boy George might have dropped a major bombshell when he was filming the live audition show for The Voice’s UK counterpart, claiming he once slept with Prince. Then again, he could've been joking.
The studio audience had such a huge reaction to his claim that production had to be temporarily halted. A source who was there told The Sun the audience went “absolutely wild” after he said it during an exchange with fellow judge Paloma Faith.
“If we’re throwing big soul names out there I’ve performed with Prince,” Paloma said, to which Boy George replied, “Forget that, darling, I’ve slept with Prince.”
A production source said not only did the crowd go crazy, fellow judge Will.i.am “kept coming up to Boy George and high-fiving him, which just set the crowd off again.”
In addition to Boy George, Will.i.am and Faith, Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson also serves as mentor on the UK’s The Voice, MailOnline reports.
The insider also said when production went onstage to talk to Boy George after his confession, he backtracked. “After that, Boy George started backtracking saying he hadn’t really slept with Prince and that in reality, he just had his poster on his wall,” the source explained.
What do you think, was Boy George joking or being serious?
