BOY GEORGE RETURNS RELIGIOUS ARTEFACT

 

BOY GEORGE

Boy George has returned a stolen religious artefact to the Church of Cyprus 26 years after he bought it at auction. The pop star was stunned to learn the Christ icon he picked up at a London art sale in 1985 was taken from the church during the Turkish invasion a decade before.

After the recent discovery, the "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me" singer did not hesitate to give the item back. He tells the BBC the icon is now housed in a church in the village of New Chorio-Kythrea.
