Boy George becomes voice of Sat Nav for this Pride month 🏳️‍🌈

'Car-ma Chameleon'

Author: Natalie ReesPublished 11th Jun 2021

Have you ever thought about having your favourite music star drive you to work? Or car share and have a natter as they sit on the passenger seat?

Well now you can (sort of!). To celebrate Pride month this June, Boy George has teamed up with navigation app Waze to make your daily drive to work, home or anywhere a bit more fun.

The Culture Club star and LGBTQ+ icon has lent his signature voice to the sound of a Sat Nav, where fans can enable the ‘Karma Chameleon’ singer to give them their directions, wherever they are in the world.

The music and fashion icon can tell you where to turn and give users a heads up of any hazards ahead as well as telling some of his favourite Culture Club stories, just as though he is sat with you in the passenger seat.

As part of the Boy George experience, you can also activate a ‘Car-ma Chameleon’ or ‘Goldsmobile’ icon to replace your own car on the map.

Boy George turns 60 years old on Monday 14th June and has previously confirmed that a biopic about his life and rise to fame is currently in the works.

Who would you like to have voice your journey to work?
