Despite all this success, trouble was brewing within Culture Club. First, George was occasionally using drugs with money from his newfound fame. Second, unknown to Craig and Hay, George was romantically involved with Moss. Their relationship lasted for over four years and was often turbulent, with physical and verbal abuse. The pressure to hide the relationship from the press and the public started to take its toll on the band.

Waking Up with the House on Fire, From Luxury to Heartache and decline: 1984-1986

In 1984, the group released its third album, Waking Up with the House on Fire. Waking Up with the House on Fire is an album by New Wave band Culture Club, released in 1984 (see 1984 in music) It was a commercial and critical disappointment compared to Colour by Numbers. The album sold just over a million copies worldwide upon its release, with 500,000 of those in the U. S. Although it was certified as a Platinum album in the US it was still considered a disappointment compared to the Multi-platinum successes of Kissing to Be Clever and Colour by Numbers in the US. The album had one hit single in "The War Song" which went top ten and top twenty in the UK and U. S. respectively. "The Medal Song" (UK #32) and "Mistake No. 3" (US #33) were also released as singles and became modest hits. George would later state that he felt the album experienced a lukewarm reception because he felt that the album was a mediocre and half hearted attempt only made because of record label pressure to quickly release a follow-up to Colour by Numbers. According to George at the time the band had just come off a world tour of North America and Australia during the spring and summer of 1984 and the group felt exhausted and as a result the fatigue ended up coming off of the album. For a topic outline on this subject see List of basic Australia topics. Some music insiders think that the lukewarm reception may have represented a backlash against Culture Club and Boy George due to overexposure in both the American and British press at that point.

At the end of 1984, the band was recruited by Bob Geldof to attend the Band Aid recording, consisting of mostly internationally-known UK and Irish recording stars. Robert Frederick Zenon Geldof, KBE, known as Bob Geldof (born 5 October 1951, is an Irish singer Band Aid was a British and Irish charity supergroup, founded in 1984 by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure in order to raise money George was in New York City when Geldof called him, but managed to catch the final Concorde of the day to London and was the last singer to record a vocal track for the song "Do They Know It's Christmas".

Please see WikipediaWikiProject Aircraft/page content for recommended layout London ( ˈlʌndən is the capital and largest urban area in the United Kingdom. " Do They Know It's Christmas? " is a song written by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure in 1984 specifically to raise money for relief of 1984–1985 famine The song would eventually become an international hit, raising millions for famine victims in Africa.

George had been abusing drugs for several years and by 1986 he became seriously addicted to cocaine, which then evolved into a heroin addiction. The term " addiction " is used in many contexts to describe an obsession compulsion or excessive Physical dependence or psychological dependence such as Cocaine ( benzoylmethyl ecgonine) is a Crystalline Tropane Alkaloid that is obtained from the leaves of the Coca plant Heroin ( INN: diacetylmorphine, BAN: diamorphine) is a semi-synthetic opioid synthesized from Morphine, a derivative The band continued to lose its place musically. The recording of their 1986 album From Luxury to Heartache dragged on for so long that producer Arif Mardin had to abandon the sessions due to prior commitments and leave it to engineer Lew Hahn to record the final vocals. From Luxury to Heartache is an album by New Wave band Culture Club, released in 1986 (see 1986 in music) Arif Mardin (Istanbul March 15, 1932 – New York June 25, 2006) was a Turkish - American Music producer Songs like "Gusto Blusto" and "Reasons" took days for the addicted singer to finish. Nevertheless, the album seemed capable of returning Culture Club back to hit-making status as the first single "Move Away" peaked at UK #7 and U. S. #12. However, George and Jon could no longer be around each other due to constant relationship battles and, coupled with George's drug problem, a forthcoming American tour had to be canceled. By the time of the release of the second single "God Thank You Woman", news of George's drug addiction began to circulate in British and American tabloids, which were denied by the singer, and the single stalled. A tabloid is a Newspaper industry term which refers to a smaller newspaper format per spread to a weekly or semi-weekly alternative newspaper that focuses on local-interest From Luxury to Heartache began to fade from the charts and the album eventually sold fewer than one million copies worldwide. By the summer of 1986, George announced that he was indeed addicted to drugs. In July, he was arrested by the British police for possession of cannabis. The band broke up and George pursued a solo career.

Reunions

In 1998, the band put their differences aside and decided to do a reunion tour. Kicking off with a performance on VH1 Storytellers, the tour was a major success. Storytellers is a Television music series produced by the VH1 network A compilation album based around the Storytellers performance was released, which included new songs such as "I Just Wanna Be Loved", which hit UK #4. "I Just Wanna Be Loved" had been written during the Peter Asher reunion sessions in the early 1990s. Peter Asher was born on 22 June 1944 in Willesden, London, then part of Middlesex, England.

Their 1999 studio album Don't Mind If I Do peaked at #64 in the UK. Don't Mind If I Do is an album by Pop rock / new wave / Reggae band Culture Club, released in 1999 for the Virgin label Although not a strong seller, it included moderate UK hits in "Your Kisses Are Charity" (UK #25) and "Cold Shoulder" (UK #43).

The band went on to tour, then reunited again for a 20th anniversary concert in 2002 at the Royal Albert Hall. The Royal Albert Hall is an Arts venue situated in the Knightsbridge area of the City of Westminster, London, England, best known This performance was released on DVD the following year. Culture Club then became inactive again, largely due to George's DJ career. A disc jockey (also known as DJ or deejay) is a person who selects and plays recorded music for an audience

Early that year, the band's record company placed an ad for a lead singer to ". . . take part in a 2007 World Tour and TV Series. " The new singer, Sam Butcher was selected because of his own personality, "not a Boy George lookalike.
