ISBN: 9780060173685.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Grammy Award for \"Karma Chameleon\" sealed Boy Georges pop-icon status as the avant-garde star in Hasidic hat and quasi-religious robes, whose beguiling melodies and impertinent one-liners seduced an unsuspecting public. \"Sex? Id rather have a cup of tea,\" he said, teasing the world about his sexual leanings. But after reaching the pinnacle of success, his life took a devastating turn. Culture Club, Georges pioneering band, went into eclipse, his hushed-up relationship with drummer Jon Moss fell apart, and Boy George found a new and dangerous obsession - drugs - ending up with a heroin addiction.\nIn this electrifying autobiography Boy George tells the whole truth for the first time, and does so with total candor and irrepressible wit. Take It Like a Man is the story of the crazy highs and desperate lows; the family struggles; friends and lovers - gay, straight, and transvestite; the obsessive media infatuation; as well as the agony, shame and despair of drug withdrawal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins Children's Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44945737351221,"sku":"ByrdShop_0060173688","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780060173685_21fc4ff8-33d6-494e-bb8f-f13a27963b89.jpg?v=1778971459","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/take-it-like-a-man-the-autobiography-of-boy-george-9780060173685","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
