CULTURE Club star Boy George has appeared at court as a Warrington music promoter launched a lawsuit against him.

The troubled star and former drug addict took the stand at Manchester's Mercantile Court on Tuesday as Kasia Saleh from Winwick accused him of destroying her music business.

Ms Saleh is attempting to sue the 46-year-old musician for loss of earnings after he pulled out of a performance at the launch night of her Club GAY USA in Los Angeles.

The court heard Boy George, real name George O'Dowd, cancelled after he was arrested for possession of cocaine which the Warrington promoter claims tarnished the reputation of her new business-it later folded.

Ms Saleh said she invested around £100,000 in the music enterprise.

The case continues.
