Pete Burns is a British singer and composer who became famous for his participation in the band Dead or Alive. In this group, he was a soloist, and the performance of a hit called You Spin Me Round opened the way to fame for the guys in 1985.
The biography of the musician
Pete Burns, whose photo you can see below, was born in August 1959 in Port Sanlayt. His father was a native Englishman, and his mother was Jewish, born in the German city of Heidelberg.
At first, Pete Burns attracted the attention of the public only in his shocking way, but the release of the single You Spin Me Round changed everything. It was this composition of the band Dead or Alive that received the status of gold; more than 500 thousand copies were purchased in the world. The single in many charts has long held a leading position.
Pete Burns was initially mistaken for homosexual because of his androgynous appearance. In fact, the musician is bisexual. At one time, he was even married to a girl whom he met at the hairdresser, a colleague Lynn Corlett.
Creative career
Pete Burns took the first step toward music, taking a job as a salesperson in Liverpool at Probe Records. In this place before, very often one could meet young musicians striving for development and fame.
Before the Dead or Alive band formed, Burns was a member of the Nightmares in Wax and Mystery Girls bands that played in the goth punk style so popular at the time. And even the release of the compositions of Birth of a Nation and Black Leather did not lead to the creation of at least one album.
Transformation of appearance
Pete Burns, whose photo before and after the operation you can see below, has repeatedly tried to change his appearance. The musician made his lips more voluminous by injection of polyacrylamide, and inserted implants into his cheeks. The shape of his nose also changed, and every time it became new.
Pete Burns underwent a very large number of operations in his life. This process simply became uncontrollable and turned a guy with delicate facial features into something shocking and indescribable.
And one of the plastic surgeries not only worsened Burns' appearance, but also tied him to the house. Surgical intervention in 2006 went wrong, and for as long as 8 months the musician did not go out on the street, after which he suffered a recovery for another year and a half. Burns sometimes wanted to commit suicide. He even sued the surgeon at the London clinic who operated on him. The judge sided with the lead singer of Dead or Alive, and the doctors ordered him to pay 500 thousand pounds.
A lot of time and a considerable amount of money were spent on correcting the consequences of an unsuccessful surgical intervention, but this did not affect Pete at all, and he purposefully continued to change his appearance further. And the story of 18 months of life after the tragedy was used to make a documentary film.
After the restoration, the musician showed everyone his new image at the upcoming Fashion Week in London. By this time, he managed to acquire a new hobby - piercing. Burns came to the fashion show with his boyfriend Michael Simpson, with whom he was in official relations. Just a year later, the couple had a fight, but their love reunited hearts again.
