Boy George quits Jesus Christ Superstar over reggae song defending Israeli army

British musician Boy George has withdrawn from the musical 'Jesus Christ Superstar' following controversy over a reggae song he recorded that defends the Israeli military's actions in Gaza and mocks fellow artists who 'hold up flags and bleat like sheep.' The song, which has sparked widespread criticism, led to his departure from the production. The musical, a rock opera by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, is currently in production, and Boy George's exit raises questions about the show's future. The controversy highlights the intersection of art and politics, with the artist's stance drawing sharp reactions from the public and the arts community. The specific dates and venues of the production have not been disclosed in the source material.
