The late Pete Burns, frontman of Dead Or Alive, truly left his mark on the music industry with his striking androgynous style showcased in the iconic video for their hit single, You Spin Me Round (Like A Record). With his glamorous appearance and unmistakable voice, Burns enjoyed a successful career that spanned an impressive three decades. He also made a splash on television, most notably during his time on Celebrity Big Brother’s fourth series. Despite being widely recognized as one of the UK’s most influential LGBTQ+ musicians, Burns felt compelled to address certain misconceptions about his identity in his autobiography, Freak Unique. In a refreshingly candid manner, he simply stated, “Am I gay, bi, trans or what? I say forget all that… I’m just Pete.”
