Pete Burns was born in Port Sunlight, near Liverpool, on August 5, 1959, to Francis and Eva Burns. His father is British, but his mother is a German refugee. Pete said that he had a desire to be unique and started experimenting with his hair and appearance at the age of 12. However, since he seemed "freakish," he was often harassed by instructors...
According to a statement made by his boyfriend, Michael Simpson, his ex-wife, Lynne Corlett, and Steve Coy, his manager and former band member, âAll of his family and friends are crushed by the death of our wonderful star. He was a real visionary, a lovely gifted person who will be missed by those who loved and admired all he was and all of the amazing memories he left us with.â The television personality, who finished fifth in 2006's Celebrity Big Brother, was born in Cheshire to a German mother who was a Holocaust survivor and a Liverpool-born father. Burns characterized his upbringing as unorthodox and his boyhood as lonesome.
Simpson arrived three minutes after the 1980s star at the civil partnership ceremony at the Royal Society of Arts building in central London. The two were also trailed by a television team, who were believed to be capturing their daily lives for Living TV. Their celebration is scheduled to go into the early morning hours. Burns remains friends with his ex-wife, despite the fact that she claims he started seeing Simpson while the pair was still married.
He once said that âchanging my face is comparable to purchasing a new sofaâ and that ânot a single part of me, save for the soles of my feet, has remained untouched. Plastic surgery is an issue of sanity, not vanity, in my opinion. †His decades-long preoccupation with surgically altering his looks finally bankrupted him when he was forced to spend thousands of dollars for 18 months of corrective surgery in Italy after a lip procedure went awry.
