Pete Burns talks image, the '80s revival and what he really thought of Courtney Love.
Dead or Alive found fame in the mid-'80s, aided considerably by the outrageous antics and androgynously self-styled frontman, Pete Burns.
Having surfaced initially in 1977 with The Mystery Girls and later the proto-Goth rockers Nightmares in Wax, Pete founded the dance/electro-pop group in 1980.
In 1985, Dead or Alive snatched their first no.1 hit with 'You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)', which was also the first UK chart topper for Stock, Aitken And Waterman. In the late '80s, Steve Coy (drums) and Pete found greater success in Japan and have since maintained a considerable overseas following. Their re-recording of 'You Spin Me Round' is due for release at the beginning of April.
