So, dead then?

Sorry.....too soon! He'll be spinning in his grave, right round baby, spinning right round.

Ah il get my coat.

He wasn't a bad lad on the auld celeb big brother.

LordSutch

He liked to dabble with the old plastic surgery, so this was his latest (and last) reincarnation, http://www.retecool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/pete-burns-freak.jpg

And people say plastic surgery makes you look like a freak…

Sorry to hear this. He always struck me as very witty and clever, but obviously fighting his own demons.

Looks like a Furby in the second pic

LordSutch

A tortured soul by all accounts.

Sad news.

KKkitty

Rest in peace Pete Burns. Don't care about how he looked or acted he was a human being beneath it all. Another gone before their time.

At least we've heard of him unlike that rugby player...

Banned.

Any news on Beiber ?

Mam of 4

Just sad news to hear , as someone else said , a tortured soul.

R.I.P.

The poor guy. What terrible self image issues he must have had to put himself through all that surgery.

So we can remember him at his best:

Nyctolust

Sad to hear that. He always struck me as a witty character struggling with his own demons a fair bit but he was a good laugh. RIP

seamus

That disastrous combination of a need for celebrity and really bad self-image issues. So many people just completely lose all sense of the world.

No doubt the surgeries were a big factor in his premature death.

He was completely vile on BB. I couldn't stand him. I won't say I'm glad he's died, but he's certainly not one I'm sorry about.

Aye, wouldn't really be a corpsehouse on me either, might go to the funeral if it's a middling day.

It's odd how it's "OK" to pull the piss out of Pete Burns but if you tried it on, say, the Anthony Foley RIP thread you'd be permabanned in a nanosecond.

I suppose everybody in the RIP thread for Anthony Foley (for example) was his best mate? I suppose you were demanding all their credentials there?

First Pete Burns, now Bobby Vee.
And Bieber is still here......

Sad to hear of Pete Burns death. You Spin Me Round is a crackin tune. May he Rest In Peace.

You saw I used the same word twice in my post so you decided to repeat it. Without answering the question or addressing the point in any way.

Well, if you ask a stupid question what do you get?

dd972

Don't think there's been many people as incongruously named and accented as Pete Burns, you'd picture an Alexei Saylesque Donkey Jacketed Docker in a Woolly Hat at a picket line!

That's a shock

As a teen in the 80s I dabbled in his music or at least in the incarnation that was the band Dead or Alive. Originally discovering them with Thats the way (I like it) in '84. Once Stock Aitken and Waterman got their hands on them it took off and the brief musical career kicked in. While I spin you round was the biggie, I preferred In too deep myself. Anything after that tended to be meh. But Something in my house was a clever exception, because it sounded more or less like I spin you round.

he's up there now with Bobby Vee doing a duet no doubt

More sad news from the music industry, Justin Bieber was found alive in his apartment earlier today.

Looking at his recent pictures it doesn't look like they'll need to worry about embalming him.

Did your mammy never tell you to keep your mouth shut if you've nothing good to say?

KKkitty

He's dead and even if it doesn't affect you it does affect his loved ones and fans. He wasn't loved or even liked by some but if you have nothing good to say or post, say nothing, post nothing. He had his battles in life like most of us do and just because he was well known it doesn't mean he was invincible. The plastic surgeons who performed procedure after procedure on him didn't care either. Easy money for them to get from someone who was never going to be happy with his appearance.

You'd wonder when cosmetic surgery crosses a line and surgeons become complicit in self-harm of emotionally unwell people for profit.

RIP.

RIP.

Just look at most celebrities who have gone too far with plastic surgery. Maybe one or two plastic surgeons turned them away but there's always one who won't because of the financial gain to their surgery.

Which, in my opinion, amounts to the surgeon being complicit is the self-harming of a person with emotional issues. I wouldn't have a clue how that could be regulated though.
