Boy George’s mother, Dinah O’Dowd, has passed away at the age of 84, the singer’s representatives confirmed.

According to the reports, the 61-year-old English singer, DJ, songwriter, author, and the lead singer of the pop band Culture Club, was left “devastated” after the news of his mom’s passing.

Dinah died on Monday from undisclosed causes while surrounded by her family including her celebrity son George.

“I am very sad to confirm the news of The passing of Boy George’s beloved mother Dinah. George is devastated as are the family,” the singer’s representative confirmed in a statement.

“They were all by her bedside when she passed and George was holding her hand. He wants me to extend his deep gratitude for the huge outpouring of love and support he is receiving and whilst he can’t respond he feels grateful and the messages help.

“George and his family would politely now request some privacy to be able to grieve and come to terms with their heartbreaking loss.”

The tragic news comes more than two years after Dinah was hospitalized over a “heart or lung problem” that was not Covid-related.

After her health scare at Greenwich Hospital, the elderly woman was released into the care of her family in London.

“My mum’s good, she’s back home now. She was in hospital for two days, luckily it was not corona related so that’s good,” Boy George wrote at the time.

“And it wasn’t what we initially thought so everything about it was just getting her home from the hospital because obviously with everything that’s going on, my mum’s 82 so it’s not the best place for her to be.”

Our thoughts are with Dinah’s family and friends during this challenging time.
