Boy George was released from prison in Great Britain today.

Back in January he was thrown in the slammer with a 15-month sentence for falsely imprisoning a male prostitute, but earlier today he was released early for good behavior.

After only four months of his sentence, the “Karma Chameleon” singer walked out of Edmunds Hill Prison in Suffolk, UK looking much healthier than when he’d begun his time in the clink.

The 47-year-old performer will have to wear an electronic ankle bracelet for the remainder of his sentence so that authorities can monitor his whereabouts.

The Karma Chameleon singer was found guilty of thrashing Audun Carlsen, 29, with a chain as he was shackled to a wall in the star’s Shoreditch flat in April 2007.

The 29-year-old Norwegian managed to free himself and fled in his underpants into the street, screaming for help. Condemning his ‘premeditated’, ‘callous’ and drug-fuelled frenzy which ‘traumatised’ Mr Carlsen, the judge said his victim had been ‘deprived of his liberty and his human dignity’ before sentencing O’Dowd in January.

The judge said the offense was ’so serious that only an immediate sentence of imprisonment can be justified’. O’Dowd’s own barrister admitted that his client’s career had hit rock bottom and likened the behavior of the two men to ‘two drug-crazed idiots’.

The fallen star did not give evidence in court – his brother David O’Dowd said it was because he did not want to cause further upset to his elderly mother.

At the height of Boy George’s fame in the 80’s, he sold over 25 million records worldwide with his group the Culture Club.

He’s barely recognizable these days!

Do you know who this guy is?

It’s Boy George!
