    I don’t why the most beautiful, talented people think they’re not good enough. Pete had an operatically spectacular voice, and he was so gifted. I understand exactly how his mothers passing affected him. Some pain is just too deep to heal. I’m so glad you mentioned his marriage, his former wife was there for him the whole time. He was a brilliant, complicated man. We are poorer for his loss, l really hope he’s at peace. This was so well done, thank you :)

    To the people in comments laughing at this, I sincerely hope you never have to experience a really debilitating mental or emotional crisis, and if you do, I hope you find more empathy than you show others. Ffs.

    His mother was mentally ill and that affected Pete, being kept home with her, being awoke from his bed at 2am by his mother and taken downstairs whilst she did her makeup and hair, watching her constantly drunk. He had body dysmorphia and it stemmed from his childhood.

      You look at someone so drop dead gorgeous in every way and wonder why he wanted to change it. People would give their eye teeth to look half as good. I don't understand it. I guess he did what he felt was right for him. He was a great talent, with a wonderful voice. He is missed. Very good video about his life.

    I saw Dead of Alive at the ICA in London in 1980. They were a great underground band with songs like Number 11, I'm Falling, Nowhere to Nowhere. He had a great voice and were great before turning into a pop band. Very talented though and great stage presence. I think he wore black contact lenses! Rretty scary!

    i was about to post my comment but i see others already posted what i was going to say about Pete being gorgeous naturally without the surgeries. i was reading a posted comment on another yt channel of a Peter Burns fan having met him in person at Manchester at a gig and said ["you were the most beautiful thing i'd ever seen , then Peter looked at him in his eye kissed his forehead and said no you are the most beautiful ever created."] be it authentic from the heart or not from Peter to another person, we all need to hear that from someone time to time and i can only hope Peter experienced healthy love from someone in his life time. he held it together amazingly well for all the suffering he went through.
