Shamed singer Boy George is planning to revive his music career just four months after he was released from prison. The former Culture Club front-man, real name George O'Dowd, was jailed in January for the false imprisonment and assault of male escort Audun Carlsen in 2007.

He served just four months of his 15 month sentence and was released in May for good behavior - and is now hatching plans to head back to the studio to record a new album of cover songs.

He tells British newspaper The People, "I'm choosing songs that speak to me and have lyrics that reflect my personal journey and experiences."
