The Culture Club documentary was shown in London either last night or tonight. Mikey was the only member of the band there. Not sure exactly where Roy was, and George was at the premiere of his new movie, Christmas Karma, which looks like it's going to be great!
From the things I've read from fans, Mikey was kind, so down-to-earth, and just as sweet as we've always imagined.
He took photos, gave hugs, and spoke with love. He said George sent his love.
And then came the part that hit me like a bass drop to the soul:
Jon Moss wanted to come.
But he didn't.
Not because of logistics or drama.
Because he didn't think the fans would welcome him.
He thought he wouldn't be wanted. That his part in the band's history was too messy, too complicated, too far gone.
Mikey said that Jon texts him, says he's bored, says he misses being in the band.
Let that sink in.
He misses it. He misses them. He misses us.
He's not just looking back. He's longing.
And maybe -- just maybe -- he still hopes.
So Jon, if you're out there, and somehow this message finds its way to you:
We remember. We forgive. And we miss you too.
