Boy George has axed a concert on his new comeback tour - after selling less than a hundred tickets for the gig.

The former Culture Club frontman, 47, was due to perform onstage at the 2,200 capacity Portsmouth Guildhall in Hampshire, England on Tuesday as part of his The Boy Is Back In Town tour of the U.K.

But the venue organizers have announced the gig has since been canceled - after the star reportedly sold just 89 tickets.

Just 89 tickets? lol... talk about karma (karma karma karma chameleon).

He had a fantastic voice in the day but his voice has completely deteriorated with all of the drug abuse throughout the years. I saw the Culture Club 20th anniversary tour and his voice was so bad that it sounded like some drunk at karaoke was singing the old songs. He should stay doing the DJ thing at this point of time since he pissed his voice away.

Yeah, Boy George is done, finished. Axl Rose has the same problem, his voice is totally shot. Although, I must say, I am morbidly curious to hear 'Chinese Democracy.'
