London, April 24 - 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.
