CULTURE Club legend Boy George now lives in a rented home and will be playing panto at Christmas after being sued by a bandmate and former lover.
The 62-year-old who shot to fame in the 80s has had to bid farewell to his old luxury lifestyle.

In March, it was revealed that the I’m a Celeb star and the other Karma Chameleon singers had been ordered to pay Culture Club founding member Jon Moss £1.75million after a High Court battle.
The singer has since chosen to rent out his £17m home in London’s exclusive Hampstead and is now living six miles away in Hackney.
George has also chosen to snag a part playing Captain Hook in Peter Pan in Blackpool over the festive period – despite earning a reported £500k for I’m A Celebrity last year.
When The Sunday Times asked George how much money he currently has, he said: “Absolutely f**k all.”
Regarding his mansion, he added: “I can get more money renting it than living in it. But it’s been really fun being out of there. I love it.

“A couple of years ago I burnt all the letters he (Jon) wrote me.
“It wasn’t like they were like Lady Chatterley’s Lover’s letters. They were just filth. They were about sex. They weren’t romantic, they weren’t loving. It wasn’t anything I’m going to read when I’m 70 and go, Oh, so sweet.
“And I also wanted to get rid of the temptation to print them just to be b***hy. I thought, actually, I don’t want to be b***hy. I don’t need to be b***hy?”
The legal dispute over the group’s profits and the value of Culture Club was resolved a week before trial, due to determine the value of the Culture Club name, the profits made by the band since Jon’s alleged expulsion, and the amount he might be entitled to receive.
A court order issued then said that the group had agreed that a judgment should be made in favour of Jon.
