Dead or Alive singer Pete Burns has died aged 57 after suffering a cardiac arrest, his management has said.

Burns had a hit with You Spin Me Round in 1985 and appeared on Celebrity Big Brother in 2006.
The management statement said: "All of his family and friends are devastated by the loss of our special star."

Well you can remove the “or Alive” part.
Wow, thought he died of aids like eleventy billion years ago
It’s not Memorex either.
Probably had something to do with all of the plastic surgery he had over the years. Not a pretty sight.
Gay marriage does not work - men are just too predatory, says Pete Burns

I spent thirty years getting that song out of my head. THIRTY YEARS. Wasted. Because I made the silly mistake of googling “You Spin Me Round”. And now I am transported back to my youth. But without the girls or the drugs.
A truly troubled individual.
While my now aging shepherd is stiff in the legs and doesn’t move like he used to, in his youth, any time I would grab his leash to go for a walk, he would run to the door and spin in circles. For many years all our walks together would start with me singing, “You Spin Me Right Round” to him :)
I’m guessing his real name is “Peter Burns”?
Honestly, you just can’t make this stuff up.
We sing “you spin me round” to our 1 year old (yes we are old first time parents) as we dance around the living room.
The guy had an amazing voice.
Sadly, he began to mangle his face back in the late 90s. As an 80s teen, and one who used to frequent the new wave/gothy clubs back then, this is sad news. Seemed like a good natured, yet very troubled, soul. I hope he’s at peace.
He never seemed like one who led a healthy lifestyle.
Thanks. You just replaced it with something worse. Don’t quit your day job. Unless your day job involves musical torture.

Am I the only one who is glad there won’t be a follow up to meatspin? (don’t google it, seriously, don’t)
