Boy George supported his brother Kevin O'Dowd at his book launch on Wednesday night - two weeks after the death of their beloved mother.

Kevin's new book is a collection of poetry called Reflections In Rhyme and he celebrated it coming out at the Karma Sanctum in Soho.

The brothers looked dapper for the event, with Boy George, real name George O'Dowd, sporting a black suit.

He also opted for an eye-catching green bowler hat and striped black trousers.

Meanwhile, Kevin donned a stripey black and grey suit jacket with a grey shirt. 

Kevin and Boy George also posed with Denise Waterman and other pals at the event. 

Their mother Dinah O'Dowd passed away earlier this month at the age of 84.

The Culture Club singer's representatives confirmed the sad news to MailOnline, revealing that he is 'devastated' by the loss.  

George's manager PK said in a statement: 'I am very sad to confirm the news of The passing of Boy George’s beloved mother Dinah. George is devastated as are the family.

'They were all by her bedside when she passed and George was holding her hand. He wants me to extend his deep gratitude to the huge out pouring of love and support he is receiving and whilst he can’t respond he feels grateful and the messages help.

'George and his family would politely now request some privacy to be able to grieve and come to terms with their heartbreaking loss.'

Boy George has four brothers and one sister. His father Jeremiah died in 2003 but George has spoken in the past about how his father beat his mother. 

Boy George's close friend DJ Fat Tony paid tribute to Dinah on Instagram: 'God bless you you amazing woman Dinah ….my heart goes out to @boygeorgeofficial and the entire O Dowd family what an incredible beautiful strong woman we will miss you x'
