Boy George and Culture Club are returning with new single Let Somebody Love You – their first in 20 years.
The song has been a fixture of their live set for some time, but was never before granted a studio recording.
The band are set to release their sixth album Life, which is already available for pre-order, on 26 October.

Culture Club formed in 1981. They became one of the most famous and influential British bands of the 1980s. The band combined multiple genres, fusing new wave and reggae with myriad pop sounds.
Boy George became an icon and tabloid fixture, and his sexuality was a focal point of media attention.
Many of Culture Club’s songs, including Do You Really Want To Me? and Time (Clock of the Heart), are instantly recognizable pop classics. They topped both the UK and US singles charts with Karma Chameleon.
