Boy George abandons Twitter

London, April 24 (IANS) Singer Boy George has abandoned Twitter after he was bombarded by abusive spam messages.

The singer is active on Twitter and regularly keeps in touch with fans through the micro-blogging site.

But after his account was hit with a string of unsolicited tweets from abusive users, he has decided to stop tweeting until bosses rectify the issue, reports contactmusic.com.

"When Twitter decides to help me with this spam situation, I may return. Until then it's goodbye. You can ask twitter to help but I have," he posted.

The star was left fuming April 12 when an impostor set up a fake account in his name.
