    Just read in the Daily Wail that Pete Burns of dead or alive has died from a massive heart attack aged 57 so no age at all but I do wonder if having 300 surgeries some of which was to put right botched cosmetic procedures affected his heart.:noidea:

    My favourite record of his was You Spin Me Right Round...RIP

      It's very sad. I remember talking to him years ago when he worked in a record shop in Liverpool. He always did his best to get any record you wanted even if it was obscure. He came across as a very nice man. RIP Pete.

        That's a shock. Not a great favourite of mine but he was always good entertainment. A real shame - RIP.

                    I think that is the one he was most known for. Tragically young in todays world. RIP - and I really do hope he has found peace, because for such a handsome man to disfigure himself to such an extent in the hope of finding - ? *something* ? - only suggests an unhappy soul.

                    I think the news of Bobby Vee, just an hour or two before the news hit of Pete Burns, struck me more - despite his age making it more "expected" - because his music reawakens more of my memories than Spin me Round.

                    RIP both and thank you for the music.
