80s Singer Vs Plastic Surgeon - Top Story of 07

[originally published 01/26/07](Launch) Pete Burns, the flamboyant lead singer '80s band Dead Or Alive, has filed a lawsuit against a London plastic surgeon for allegedly making him look "physically repulsive."
The androgynous frontman, most famous for the hit "You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)," claims Dr. Maurizio Viel performed a terrible job on his lip augmentation procedure at the London Center For Aesthetic Surgery.

Burns's suit complains of swelling, blistering, discharge, and impaired ability to eat, drink, or talk. He claims the damage was so extreme that at one point it looked like his lips would actually need to be surgically removed.

Pete Burns headlining at Aberdeen as organisers think big

http://www.pinknews.co.uk/

10th March 2008
Dead or Alive front man Pete Burns has been announced as the headline act to play at this year's Rainbowfest in Aberdeen.

The event is to be held on the beach front at Queen's Links Aberdeen on Saturday 5th July, and organisers said they want it to be Scotland's biggest LGBT event yet.

The festival is the idea of local promoter Gary Noble and aims to bring together the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals in the area along with their families.

Burns will be joined on the day by ex So-Solid crew member Lisa Mafia and duo Booty Love.

Mr Noble, who runs a local gay club in Aberdeen:

"The general consensus of opinion was to hold a Pride event in Aberdeen in 2008, although we felt that the concept of previous events was becoming outdated.

"I knew we need to change the direction of the event when we carried out a survey of Pride members and more people wanted more hot food stands than information and campaigning.

"The Rainbowfest will focus more on integration rather than campaigning and we hope it's going to be an intergenerational event which everyone can come to and enjoy, regardless of their age, gender or sexual orientation.

"The fact that Lisa Mafia will be one of the headline acts is really significant in showing how diverse the day's going to be and I think there will be something going on to suit everyone's tastes."

The open air concert is free and will also feature a youth area, under 18s disco, stalls and a beer tent.

Please look in the news section of his website cos' there is too much info!

Although Pete said he was 'married' before turning gay, i think he looked very girly when he as in dead or alive :bigsmile:

He said in CBB that he considers himself to be completely a man.

Ready for Burns night?

http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/

POPTASTIC'S 12th birthday is looming, which is enough to put even the committed partygoer on their guard, famed as the night is for its unbridled hedonism.

Taking place at its occasional second home outside of the Gay Village, The Birdcage, it is the opportunity for promoter and gad-about town John Hamilton to open things out a bit and up the Poptastic game for one night only.

In this case by inviting the formidable Pete Burns to perform at PA in front of Poptastic's legendary crowd of indie pop tykes. Lambs to the slaughter one might say. CityLife's advice? Don't look him in the eye.

Burns is without doubt one of this country's true divas. His background is now a thing of legend and turns on Celebrity Big Brother and Pete Burns' PA have proven him to be a formidable opponent of pretty much anyone choosing to get in his way. Prone to making mincemeat of anyone who argues with him, could the Poptastic gang have bitten off more than they can chew here?

"Pete is actually more a perfectionist than anything else," explains the esteemed Mr Hamilton of his superstar special guest. "He just wants everything to be right. So yes, we are pulling out all the stops to make things as smooth as possible but it's going to be worth it, isn't it?"

No doubt. Burns is still a terrific performer as reports of his recent turn at G.A.Y. will attest.

Hell For Leather

"I first met Pete quite accidentally," continues John. "He'd been at Pride one year and after a no doubt provocative evening out found himself at a night I was doing called Hell For Leather, where we gave him and his entourage the full VIP treatment, even convincing him to take to the stage at Pride again the next day. So getting him on for Poptastic seemed perfect... not to mention possible."

Poptastic is having something of a second summer at the moment with the Saturday night bash even eclipsing Tuesday's more student vibe. Nights of its size and aesthetic are big news in the city and Clique and Key Money Lipstick are fine examples of Manchester's new wave of cool pop clubbing - and it's safe to say owe something of a debt to Hamilton's trailblazing night.

"Everything goes in cycles," says John. "Our job is to stay ahead, not get too fashionable and keep listening to what the regulars want. For example, for Tuesday's birthday we have two great bands Daggers and Salty Lips playing which are both great up-and-coming bands. We like to strike a balance between keeping things fun and keeping things cool."

There's no denying Pete Burns is the shining star of this particular party and tickets for the event are going as quickly as you'd expect. "

Judging be the e-mails we've had, people are traveling from far and wide to the party," says John. "We've even had one guy planning to come over from New York. Well, you never know..."

No.:bawling:

I think you would be too young aswell maybe. I can just imangine the main audience of Pete Burns....gosh.

Here is a horrible story (About the Manchester gig which I didnt go to):sad:

http://www.deadoralive.net/index.html

Hi all,

I was just advised by Pete's management team that Pete had to pull out of the Manchester gig at the last minute yesterday. He was extremely upset about it too. After spending all day Monday being filmed by the Japanese TV crew, he got up Tuesday morning and noticed that his voice was going. He still went up to Manchester though, hoping that the situation would improve, but by the time soundcheck came around, Pete's condition had developed into a full-blown throat infection and he was unable to sing.

Pete said he was heartbroken about not being able to do the show and will reschedule. I've been asked to tell you all what happened and stress that he is very very sorry for letting everyone down.

thats not realy that bad.Rihanna had to pull out of her tour for a month because of tonsilites and a hundred thousand people who paid for there tickets missed the concert because of it.anyway i hope his voice gets better soon.

wow i just seen this thread
i loooooooooooove pete burns

Or his show is not going to look very good.

Pete's not so light fantastic

http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/

TALK about diva strops... Flamboyant Dead Or Alive star Pete Burns topped them all when he refused to stay in a top Manchester hotel suite - complaining there was "not enough light".

Pete, famed for his abrasive behaviour on reality shows Celebrity Big Brother and Pete's PA, spun right round on his heels and out of Manchester when a second hotel room at the four-star deluxe Palace Hotel was not deemed "light" enough either.

His hissy fit left fans disappointed, as the singer had been due to perform at the 12th birthday bash of Manchester club institution Poptastic at The Birdcage in the city centre on Tuesday night.

Organisers had frantically hunted for an alternative hotel after Pete rejected The Palace - and offered him a corner suite with lots of windows at the Midland Hotel as well, but he refused to even look at it and instead flounced off in a white van back to London.

More than 1,000 fans turned up at The Birdcage expecting You Spin Me Round singer Pete - but Poptastic boss John Hamilton had to explain to the disappointed masses he wouldn't be coming.

Fee back

Clubbers were offered a refund, and now Poptastic want Pete's performance fee back, too.

They are fuming that they complied to his list of "riders" - including laying on a load of Snickers chocolate bars - but he still wasn't happy. John said: "We booked Pete for the event, we paid for him and we provided him with everything he had asked for.

"But when he walked into the hotel room he said there wasn't enough light. The hotel changed the room, and the concierge even brought extra lights in, but he had a hissy fit and said it wasn't good enough for him.

"We then got him a suite in The Midland, but he was wasn't interested in that, either. He just got in his white transit van and off he went back to London.

"It left us completely in the lurch, and having to explain to 1,000 people what had happened. People were stunned - some had flown over from Amsterdam especially to see him."

A spokeswoman for The Palace Hotel said yesterday: "The room allocated to Mr Burns was of our normal high standard in this very beautiful landmark building."

But it clearly wasn't to the exacting standards of Mr Burns. No one was available from the singer's management to comment on his bizarre behaviour yesterday.
