Freak Unique - Pete Burns My Story

Pete Burns has found a new audience with his outrageous antics on Celebrity Big Brother. Whether being berated for wearing an alleged ëgorilla' coat, or destroying any one of his housemates with a withering putdown, he's the undoubted star of the show. But there's much more to Pete than meets the eye - and what with his extraordinary features and sense of fashion, that's really saying something. He became a star with the band Dead Or Alive, who had a huge hit with ëYou Spin Me Round (Like A Record)' in the mid-80s, but until now he has never told his own amazing story. It includes frank details of his affairs with major rock stars, his long-time marriage, how he had to sell his £2m house to pay for the plastic surgery that went wrong and caused horrific injuries to his lips. He's had an amazing career and still commands a huge global following. When it came to going into the Big Brother house, Pete declared he was not going to be a team player - and this sensational book about his life shows how he's always been a true individual and a born star.

Pete Burns was born on 5 August 1959. He played in a number of bands before forming Dead Or Alive, whose members included Wayne Hussey of the Mission. He has been a producer as well as a star performer
