OT: RIP Pete Burns of Dead or Alive

[bac2therac]

dead at the age of 57. Sang one of the most memorable songs of the 80s "You Spin Me Round". Following in the footsteps of Boy George and Annie Lennox with his androgynous look, He would later become addicted to plastic surgery and lip injections and then eventually become unrecognizable in the last 10 years

I think he was transsexual and so was trying to look like a woman (moreso).

(s)he is now dead

RIP

That video is so bad it should replace rickroll.

Good tune though.

"Brand New Lover" was my favorite song from these guys, although obviously not as big as Spin. Also, none of those footsteps would have been there without Bowie.

Only the good die young. Billy Joel will live to 105.

Technically not a one-hit-wonder, but close. Still if you were a New Wave aficionado back in the day you were almost certainly listening, or dancing, to him.

One of his last appearances?

Oh, dear. He looks horrendous in that vid. The disconnect of the voice & face was rather frightening.

RIP.

He looks like Cher on a really, really, really bad day.
