(CNN) — Pete Burns, lead singer of the 1980s British pop band Dead or Alive, has died.
He was 57.
According to a statement from his management team posted on the singer's official Twitter account, Burns died Sunday of "massive cardiac arrest."

"All of his family and friends are devastated by the loss of our special star," the statement read. "He was a true visionary, a beautiful talented soul, and he will be missed by all who loved and appreciated everything he was and all the wonderful memories he has left us with."

A native of England, Burns was working in a record store before he founded a musical group called the Nightmares in Wax in Liverpool in 1979. The group was renamed Dead or Alive in 1980.

The band scored a hit with "You Spin Me Round" in 1985. The video for the song showcased Burns' androgynous look.

I smell a bit....

Didn't he have a bunch of surgeries that made him look like one of those "cat women" like that old socialite that Telegram Sam always posts pics of?

Our hotel smelled like dead hooker vagina (before you ask I had gotten a detailed description from beardown)

Her?

No, not Jocelyn Wildenstein, but she has that look too. I think the one Sam likes to post may be the Duchess of Alba.

There is not a damned thing wrong with people who are bull shitters.

I bet his significant other is saying "what I really need to do is find myself a brand new lover."

If you hate Laurence, then don't listen - don't comment. When he co-hosts the B&B show, take that day off ... listen to an old podcast of a Bernstein solo show and jerk off all day.
