Rod Stewart and Boy George give stunning duet of 'The Killing Of Georgie' for opening of joint tour

26 June 2023, 12:22

By Giorgina Ramazzotti

The two singing legends lit up the stage in Plymouth on Saturday night (June 24).

Rod Stewart and Boy George have given their first performance on tour together and it was exactly what fans had been waiting for.

The duo took to the stage during Rod Stewart 's UK opener of his Global Hits Tour on Saturday night and gave a stunning rendition of 'The Killing Of Georgie'.

• Rod Stewart wants to "misbehave" with Boy George as Culture Club join him on UK tour
• Boy George is "devastated" after his mum Dinah dies, aged 84
• Rod Stewart accidentally swears live on The One Show, forcing presenters to apologise

Sitting side-by-side on stage and surrounded by a small band, a harpist and some backing singers, Rod introduced the song before forgetting when he wrote it – much to the delight of the laughing crowd.

He then gave the stage to Boy George who regaled the audience with a story of how his mum gave him 'a copy of 'The Killing of Georgie'' in his sock drawer, adding: "I actually thought you'd written it about me!'

The duo then sang the 1976 hit to the 17,000-strong Plymouth crowd, taking it in turns to sing the chorus and verses.

• Boy George reveals the poignant Rod Stewart song that reminds him of his late mum
• Rod Stewart welcomes second and third grandchild within days of each other
• Rod Stewart, 78, proudly shows off new tattoo in tribute to his Scottish roots

Boy George and Culture Club are Rod Stewart's main support for the star's six summer shows in England and Scotland between June 28 and July 8.

Rod Stewart announced Boy George would be joining him on tour back in late March, and joked that he wanted to 'misbehave' when they were on the road together.

Still going strong at the age of 78, Sir Rod is a certified British icon with countless classic hits under his belt, including the likes of ‘Maggie May’, ‘Baby Jane’ and ‘Da Ya Think I’m Sexy?’. From fronting bluesy rock and rollers to becoming a commercial sensation, the English-Scottish singer has had an enviable career at the pinnacle of music.

Responsible for hits since the 1960s, the singer-songwriter’s soulful, raspy vocals and shapeshifting sonic abilities (covering rhythm and blues, blue-eyed soul and much more throughout his lengthy career), Stewart is a generational sensation.

Rod is one of the best-selling artists in music history with over 250 million record sales worldwide, winning innumerable industry accolades (including two inductions into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame) and earning a Knighthood for his services to music and charity.

This weekend, Stewart is heading to the South West meaning that Bristolian music fans will have the chance to witness catch a set featuring all the classics. Talking about the extra special show earlier this year, Rod Stewart said:

"My favourite memories have been summer nights with a beer or two alongside the best fans in the world. I'm impatiently awaiting this summer playing at a variety of special venues - football, cricket and rugby stadiums, estates, and castles! We'll all be dancing under the stars."

Support comes from another pop music sensation, Boy George and Culture Club. Armed with a myriad of hits including ‘Karma Chameleon’, ‘Do You Really Want To Hurt Me’ and ‘Time (Clock Of The Heart’ – be sure to warm your vocal cords up for this one!

The singer-songwriter, who has had six number one hits in the UK charts including Baby Jane and Maggie May, said: “I’m absolutely thrilled to be sharing the stage with my dear old friend, Boy George.

“Let’s misbehave!”

Boy George, whose real name is George O’Dowd, said: “I’m a massive Rod Stewart fan. I have been since I was a teenager. I love his voice and he’s always been very charming to me.”

The tour will see Sir Rod perform classic hits and fan favourites from across his impressive career.

He said: “My favourite memories have been summer nights with a beer or two alongside the best fans in the world.
