Musician Boy George has been arrested at his home in New York on suspicion of possessing cocaine.
He was detained at about 0300 (0700 GMT) on Friday by police attending his luxury apartment in Manhattan after he called to report a burglary.
The 44-year-old performer is due to appear before a judge in the next 24 hours on charges of drug possession and falsely reporting an incident.
The star - real name George O'Dowd - made his name in 80s band Culture Club.
He also suffered from a well-publicised heroin addiction during that decade.
During the 90s, he established a successful career as a club DJ.
He moved to the US around the time his musical Taboo transferred to Broadway in 2003, but it received mainly negative reviews and closed after less than three months.
