The trio is recognized as some of the best and most extravagant musicians of their time, but what they also have in common are biopics about their lives.

Rami Malek past year portrayed the Queen frontman in Bohemian Rhapsody, winning himself an Academy Award for Best Actor.

Critics have also praised Rocketman, which has seen Taron Egerton provide a gritty performance of John during the “Tiny Dancer” singer’s hey-day, when he was involved in drugs and alcohol.

The latest to join the biopic bunch is the lead singer of the Culture Club — Boy George.

The currently untitled film will follow the flamboyant frontman’s childhood in a working class Irish family to his rise to stardom along with the group in the 1980s.

Directing duties have been given to Sacha Gervasi, who recently helmed the HBO series Anvil: The Story of Anvil.

No production date has been announced as yet.

Deadline confirms that the Cannes audiences will get to the first look at highly anticipated Elton John biopic.

“We are incredibly honoured and excited to premiere our movie Rocketman at the Cannes film festival on May 16th. This has been a labour of love for all of us and we couldn’t dream of a better launching pad for this very special film,” said producers Rocket Pictures and Marv Films in a statement.

The film is a story about the fantastical human story of John’s breakthrough years. It follows John’s early days as a prodigy at the Royal Academy of Music up to his eventual musical partnership with Bernie Taupin. 

The film stars Taron Egerton as the musical icon. Also on the call sheet are Jamie Bell, Richard Madden, and Bryce Dallas Howard.

Rocketman is directed by Dexter Fletcher, who took the reins on the Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody after director Bryan Singer was fired. That film went on to collect close to $900M at the global box office. 

The Cannes Film Festival debut will be followed by a May 31 domestic release.
