Pete Burns won’t be spinning right round in gay pride line-up
Celebrity storms out of festival
A NORTH-EAST gay, lesbian and bisexual festival has dumped Celebrity Big Brother star Pete Burns after he stormed out of a gay pride event in the Canary Islands.
The singer, who rose to fame with 1980s band Dead or Alive, refused to play at the Gran Canaria Gay Pride Festival and is reported to have destroyed his hotel room shortly after.
It is claimed that the 48-year-old stormed out of the Maspalomas event last week after hearing another band singing a cover of his smash hit song, You Spin Me Round (Like A Record), which is still a dance-floor favourite.
Following the spat, Burns parted company with his booking agents Create Music, who had booked him to play the Rainbowfest in Aberdeen on July 5.
But festival organisers have decided against re-booking the star through his new agent.
“We have decided that we don’t want to go through similar issues and therefore are not booking him through his new agent,” a spokesman for the festival said.
Burns launched himself back into the public eye with his appearance on last Celebrity Big Brother 2006, where he starred alongside comedian Michael Barrymore, MP George Galloway and US basketball star Dennis Rodman.
He has been replaced at Rainbowfest by The Original Bucks Fizz, who won the 1981 Eurovision Song Contest.
They will be joined by dance favourite Booty Love, who have had two top 10 hits in the last year. Also on the bill is So Solid Crew member Lisa Maffia
The family event, which is organised by Aberdeen’s lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community, takes place at Queen’s Links.
It will be part hosted by Jan Hamilton, the Stonehaven soldier who became the first officer in the armed forces to have a sex change. As Ian Hamilton, the 43-year-old served in Northern Ireland, Bosnia, Afghanistan and Iraq but last year became Jan, and has since featured in a TV documentary.
