Boy George was sentenced in 2006 to community service after the discovery of c0cain3 at his Manhattan apartment, had originally hoped to fulfil his obligations with an Aids fundraising concert, but instead the former Culture Club frontman was required to show up a week on Monday and received a shovel, broom, gloves and plastic bags from the New York department of sanitation’s district three offices. He struck the deal after falsely reporting a break-in at his apartment in lower Manhattan, an incident he has said he cannot explain. Police found no sign of a burglary, but did find 13 bags of c0cain3. Charges were dropped in exchange for community service, a $1,000 fine, and the singer’s agreement to undergo drug treatment in London. At the time of his sentencing, Boy George argued that “it would have been more useful to make 30 grand with a concert, rather than be prancing around in a park”. “Sweeping the streets of New York was supposed to be a humbling punishment, but the media turned it into an absolute circus. I had hundreds of photographers chasing me just for picking up a plastic bottle. My mother was a charwoman, so I’ve never felt above hard work or cleaning up, but doing it while a wall of paparazzi screams at you makes you realize how truly bizarre fame can be.” Boy George, Rolling Stone [December 2006] ![715512010_1451501667007402_2516570122440722040_n](https://forum.testpressing.org/uploads/default/original/3X/3/6/367a09101285663d72de2821306f649195aff904.jpeg) ![715442713_1451501743674061_1329159777844707872_n](https://forum.testpressing.org/uploads/default/original/3X/9/f/9fe5769dd3c7182e25c1f107e60dd20b58808b25.jpeg) ![715323755_1451501633674072_6810373765266506484_n](https://forum.testpressing.org/uploads/default/original/3X/0/d/0def9751fa487a723b9c74bd4430efef0261b3e6.jpeg) ![717228689_1451503270340575_5225550283249846376_n](https://forum.testpressing.org/uploads/default/original/3X/6/2/62f77fcd33841e791b00e6656430e270ed5825f8.jpeg) ![715508562_1451501977007371_5322484521318273345_n](https://forum.testpressing.org/uploads/default/original/3X/a/5/a5fe0a41f2ac67ea0d3083e19354dd415ab0e082.jpeg) ![715061830_1451502030340699_4165107407933878245_n](https://forum.testpressing.org/uploads/default/original/3X/a/f/afd2583fc6691b6df989f3a033041e31efe7ce52.jpeg) ![715359953_1451503273673908_6962003510860280980_n](https://forum.testpressing.org/uploads/default/original/3X/8/f/8fd96301ea440f2ac8cc403999cc708883197341.jpeg) ![710831303_1451503387007230_648698364985930747_n](https://forum.testpressing.org/uploads/default/original/3X/a/d/ad833d8912a22df6cbb0f4e00899969e1b3870f3.jpeg) ![715323755_1451501633674072_6810373765266506484_n](https://forum.testpressing.org/uploads/default/original/3X/0/d/0def9751fa487a723b9c74bd4430efef0261b3e6.jpeg) ![715120580_1451501637007405_3981334377818322245_n](https://forum.testpressing.org/uploads/default/original/3X/1/e/1e96cfab03a981db4089a27c1fcf0d643daf5346.jpeg) ![715158059_1451501947007374_2642523619636094277_n](https://forum.testpressing.org/uploads/default/original/3X/7/d/7d020cc9773cb12be79c2c638610958e1eb8c319.jpeg) ![715830448_1451502347007334_3111882532936157844_n](https://forum.testpressing.org/uploads/default/original/3X/9/9/9921efde7bca5002c37d3b89f846a34c71715280.jpeg) ![714981246_1451502357007333_5005374447145384264_n](https://forum.testpressing.org/uploads/default/original/3X/6/7/67ae6bfe89e722acef3360a690d210d1b7f8a726.jpeg) ---
