Boy George has said that he is finally ready to reunite with Culture Club after 15 years apart.
The 52-year-old Karma Chameleon hitmakers are set to reunite to record a new album in January 2014.
Speaking to the Daily Mirror newspaper, Boy, real name George Alan O'Dowd, said: 'I talked a few years ago about a Culture Club reunion ... they wanted me to do it for years but it wasn't right and obviously for five or ten years I was going through other things.
''Jon (Moss - drummer) was surprised when I told him I wanted the reunion to happen at last. But I wanted to do this album for myself first.''
George, who just released his latest solo album This Is What I Do, admitted that darker times in his life inspired the album, saying: ''It's easier if you write things at darker stages in your life. When you're happy you can think, 'What do I write about?' ''
