Singer Pete Burns No More

Pete Burns, singer with the British band Dead or Alive that had success in the 1980s, has died after suffering a heart attack. He was 57. 
The singer's management and family said in a statement that Burns died suddenly on Sunday. 
He was best known for his 1985 dance hit 'You Spin Me Round' and his appearances on reality TV shows including 'Celebrity Big Brother'.'' 
Burns became famous in the 1980s when Dead or Alive attracted wide attention with a string of successful singles. Culture Club singer Boy George, and others paid tribute to Burns Tuesday. Boy George tweeted that he was "tearful" about Burns' sudden death.
"He was one of our great true eccentrics and such a big part of my life! Wow. Hard to believe!'' Boy George said. Many others who had worked with Burns expressed sadness at the loss and admiration for his musical gifts. 
Burns was born in northwestern England and started making changes to his appearance at an early age. He was known for extensive cosmetic surgery that radically altered his look. He worked in a record shop as a teenager and formed several bands that were unable to score any breakthrough hits. That changed with the founding of Dead or Alive in 1985.
Burns was married to Lynne Corlett for more than 25 years until they divorced in 2006. Michael Simpson has been his partner since 2007. His ex-wife, his partner and his manager all announced Burns' death in a statement, calling him "a beautifully talented soul'' who will be missed by all who loved him and appreciated his work. 

Pete Wouldn't Have Wanted To Get Old, Says Waterman
Dead Or Alive singer Pete Burns never expected to grow old, his producer friend Pete Waterman has revealed. 
Waterman said of the 57-year-old, who died on Sunday after a cardiac arrest: "If you're going to be cynical there's one man who would have wanted to die young and that was Pete Burns. He didn't want to get old." 
Waterman, 69, who produced Dead Or Alive's 80s hit You Spin Me Round (Like a Record), said: "We never wanted to see him go but I can't imagine an old aged pensioner Pete Burns, or God help the surgeon. He'd have been amazing if he got to old age."
Dead Or Alive played at Waterman's Hit Factory Live in 2012 at London's 02 Arena. The producer said: "When we did the concert he hadn't lost it. He was a genius." 
No funeral plans have been made but Waterman added: "It'll be some send-off, I can assure you. We've lost an amazing showman." Daily Mirror.
