I cannot help but feel sorry for him. The poor man did not deserve all of the trauma he went through, especially not when he was a child. If he was not treated this way and if there was better mental health treatment for both him and his mother, maybe he wouldn’t have developed addictions to cosmetic surgery and substances. He should have gotten help when he had the chance. So sad.
I absolutely loved Pete Burns. He was so handsome back in his Dead or Alive days, it breaks my heart that he suffered such strong body dysmorphia and disfiguring.
My aunt she listening to songs of the 1980s. "You spin me right round" by Pete Burns it was the most popular song in the 1980s.I have seen this music video on MTV and VH1.
I used to love this band till I saw how racist Pete was to Traci Bingham on uk celebrity big brother. Pete degraded the hell out of Tracey . Never listened to the music again. The jealousy for a successful beautiful Black Women with money was real.
I am 39 years old and I haven’t heard of Pete Burns until recently! I read about him in the comments of a video where someone said Kim K looks like him!
I was a huge fan of Pete Burns from around the age of twelve, he was just so inspiring to me and I couldn't help but empathize with his story, that same year he passed away and left me heartbroken. Today I have just turned twenty-one and today out of nowhere a feeling of nostalgia made me remember him and I started watching old interviews of him and out of nowhere your recently published video appears in my notifications! I don't think it was just a coincidence! Love always speaks for itself and in different ways so thank you so much for your video! 💓
Whoa! What you know about Dead or Alive?! OMG!!! I loved their music! 2016 took out too many of my FAVORITES! Disagree with him or not. I STILL miss him. Lover Come Back to Me and Brand New Lover are a couple of my favorites! He was a BEAUTIFUL androgyne before the surgeries. ❤ Rest in peace, Pete Burns. 😔🙏🏾❤️🕊️
@MsElizaRae Of course! That “ Tainted Love “ cover with the “ Where Did Our Love Go “ extended mix is so dirty! No profane, just a sleazy sounding cover. Like pretty much the whole ELECTROCLASH sound of the early to mid 2000’s 😉
Although victims can "enjoy" especially children-18 may think they like it physically mentally it will always be traumatizing because they are incapable mentally of fully understanding and conseptualizing whats happening it might be easy in the short term to say you enjoyed it and it was consensual so you dont have to look introspectivly at your trauma, how it effected you and dont have to relive your trauma.
Also I know there will be comments about this turning him Queer or whatever but all of our current scientific studies indicate that being gay may be genetic and atleast it is determined before birth. For being Trans all modern studies indicate that either it might be genetic from the dad's side or related to womb temperature or the brains gender and sex develop at different times. Molestation is not the cause of someone's gender or sexuality if you say otherwise you are going against all facts and evidence that we have and stigmatizing queer victims of molestations preventing them from coming out about there abuse due to this mean false narrative. You are hurting victims when you say this.
Very sad Pete Burns went through all that trauma as a child. Maybe his abrasive attitude, and his desperation to change his appearance to such outrageous levels came about as a result of that. However, theres no denying "You Spin Me Right Round" is a great song.
I am a huge fan still to this day. As a young trans person in the early 2000’s without the words to express myself I saw this beautiful chaotic creature on screen, in so many shapes and colours as I delved into his past wondering how he got so interesting looking (his story is a LOT like Amanda Lepore) it would be so cool to have u cover her as a living icon js :)
Now I'm not gonna be politically correct. I'm gonna speak the truth he had a messed up childhood and he turned into a weirdo messed up mentally. It's like here goes another one what a waste. You need structure when you're a child you need a mother and a father preferably when all possible. So the child can get the fathers perspective and then the mothers influence. It's good a mother and father for stability for the child as he's being reared up
Omg she just honestly stated exactly what he said as a grown adult man! She didn’t just make that up out of nowhere! Pete was a character and an enigma with an acid tongue and said things out of comeplete honesty or for the shock factor. Pete was “just Pete”.
@@geraldinelafayette1838definitely! He was blunt and never held his tongue no matter how uncomfortable it made everyone feel. I actually had to filter this video a lot because if I spoke as raw as he did, UA-cam probably would strike this channel 😭😭
@@KarineAlourde lol I bet. If I had a fraction of his confidence I’d do so much for myself. I wish he hadn’t been so self destructive and had such a mean streak he could have had a much better life. He seemed to care for the ones he truly loved. Also on big brother he showed true hearted kindnesses. Not to be crossed bc he would have chewed you up and spit you out but he was nice when someone needed help.
Karine, thank you so much for making this video! This was so well researched and understanding of Pete’s life. I love that you covered his reconstructive surgeries. So many people make it out as though all of his surgeries were completely cosmetic when he had plenty of reconstructive ones. In fact, Pete said himself that the amount of cosmetic surgeries he had done were probably minimal to the reconstructive surgeries. Btw, off topic, but I love that photo of him and his wife Lynne at 7:32 ! They look so happy together. (although it definitely is VERY questionable with the fact that he was seeing Michael despite still being with Lynne at the time..maybe him and Lynne’s relationship wasn’t in a romantic state at the time, who knows.) Also, I remember reading this magazine from the 80s that I found on Pinterest that had Lynne talk about Pete, saying something along the lines of that he was completely different than how he presented himself on camera and that when she’d watch interviews of him she’d go “that’s not Pete.” Sorry for the essay lol.
“I hope when I'm 80 that I get to Heaven and God doesn't recognise me.” -Pete Burns
Hi Karine. Love your videos. Can you do a video on Dana Tee, aka Dana Tran, the mother of Diddy's youngest daughter?
Um... "Heaven???"
Iconic leader
@@KarineAlourde Tragic...
But he will
I'm so excited you've made a piece on THE iconic Pete Burns. such a lovely surprise!
Ikr!!! I can’t believe it!
I know!! I was just about to write that!! Xx
I remember dancing to- 💃 You Spin Me Right Round in the 80's.
My top favorite song as a very little child. I had no idea about his story 🤯
That was my song!!!!😊
I cannot help but feel sorry for him. The poor man did not deserve all of the trauma he went through, especially not when he was a child. If he was not treated this way and if there was better mental health treatment for both him and his mother, maybe he wouldn’t have developed addictions to cosmetic surgery and substances. He should have gotten help when he had the chance. So sad.
Truly. His mother’s mental health decline I believe played a huge role on his own mental health. He deserved better 💔💔
@@KarineAlourdeYeah, he truly did.
Pete is trash and racist got the face it deserved. Degraded a Black women and was jealous.
I absolutely loved Pete Burns. He was so handsome back in his Dead or Alive days, it breaks my heart that he suffered such strong body dysmorphia and disfiguring.
Right! Very sad. He might've not seen what we had seen. 😔
He was so handsome pre surgeries. Overall what he went through was sad.
Exactly! That’s why mental health and self-esteem are so important
Wow he was so handsome pre surgery
Courtney love, that is a celeb deep dive that would be trippy to watch~
@@kathrinealdridge1592 yes. She's an interesting character
Agreed!
He favored Adam Ant in the pic with the eye patch
I agree.
Adam Ant and Pete Burns were my eighties loves ❤
The body dysmorphia he had is so sad. He was so handsome prior to all that surgery. 😢
Wow. What a fascinating person. Pete’s life stressed me out.😅
I freaking love the Pete Burns story!!! I clicked so fast!!
My aunt she listening to songs of the 1980s. "You spin me right round" by Pete Burns it was the most popular song in the 1980s.I have seen this music video on MTV and VH1.
😮Wow - what a wild story - I've never heard of this before - Thank You! 💯💜🖤💫👍!
I love his song "You Spin Me(Right Around)"! No matter where it comes on I have to jam to it!
Pete as the devil? Never occurred to me, would've guessed it was Marilyn Manson.
Definitely Marilyn Manson. He always scared me when I was younger, him and the wrestler Undertaker 😭😭
@@KarineAlourdeI agree , only Undertaker is the sweetest in his regular life 😂. Family man and all.
Madonna , look’s like him on purpose 🎶🪔 Pete 💋 Burns 🪶
I used to love this band till I saw how racist Pete was to Traci Bingham on uk celebrity big brother. Pete degraded the hell out of Tracey . Never listened to the music again. The jealousy for a successful beautiful Black Women with money was real.
Yh he was definitely projecting

You spin me round round baby round like a record baby round round round round

Pete burns had an internalised mother wound.
Burns was a piece of work he was very talented but he alienated himself from everyone.
So sad and sick what happened to this person.
He and Boy George were close friends.
And of course Boy George had his troubles as well, but thankfully he has survived.
I love DEAD OR ALIVE!!! Gary Numan is my favorite, but Dead or Alive is up there with Q Lazarus and Soft Cell🩷
Soft cell mention! ❤❤❤

Thank you; he’s so interesting!
Omg Karine this is a dream come true!!!! I’ve watched the documentary when he came out prison multiple times 😂
Looove me some Pete Burns (R I P ) I remember when he was on Celebrity Wife Swap, U.K. version! ❤
Very sad Pete Burns went through all that trauma as a child. Maybe his abrasive attitude, and his desperation to change his appearance to such outrageous levels came about as a result of that. However, theres no denying "You Spin Me Right Round" is a great song.
I did not even know he had died, just that I had not heard or seen anything of him for a few years.
what a fascinating story, tysm for sharing 🫶
Loved Dead or Alive but he went too far with plastic. What a hard childhood. Karine you give the best videos.
Hi Karine. Love your videos. Can you do a video on Dana Tee, aka Dana Tran, the mother of Diddy's youngest daughter?
He loved the shock value of everything....he as a very astute guy..r.i.p xx
I have studied mental health, and I think u r right. It was either disacocatin g or lying to hide his feelings or embarrassment 😢
Trailblazer 🔥
Have you seen all the women today are trying to look like him. The pete burns look is very popular today. 😀
Those that pursue Hollywood and the music industry are going down a road of horror! Best to just stay way from all of it!
This was super interesting! Great video

He was very entertaining on Big Brother
WOW!!! I am an 80’s kid… knew the band very well but had NO idea about his life.
He sang on Celebrity Big Brother 4 acappella, and he had a great voice still..sounded just like the record!!! ❤❤
he also made amazing music yall listen to his albums... yall sure now you spin me right round and that's the way I like it...
Good Morning! Can you do a video on Jocelyn Wildenstein?
Never heard of him & I’m glad!!!
Me neither, might've seen a picture though lol The people you run across
This was a great idea!!!! I loved it! I love all you do, and I thank you. Maybe do Boy George? Or other 80/90s pop stars?❤❤
Grand rising queen❤
I was just thinking of him! I loved his style pre giant lips. I miss him and his music . He had an amazing singing voice too.
Daisy and Violet Hilton. Conjoined twins who made it into the 1930s movie 'Freaks'. Their lives were so tragic
Sorry to say never heard of him. After watching a horror story.
🎵Like a record round
right right round🎶
Fantastic musician but a tragic man.😢
I love me some pete!! He was def an interesting one.
Poor man. No matter what, God recognizes you.
Poor soul....very diabolic 🙏❤️🩹🙏

Martha stewart
Back in the day 1980,s he lived in the hood in Liverpool Toxteth
Richard Branson use to come to party at Peters crib
I don't think he was a bad guy I think he was very honest and some people had problems with it.
Lynn would be on that TLC show 'My husbands not gay' 😂😂😂😂
I remember the 1st time I ever saw him on MTV, before The Culture Club/Boy George. That was the 1st time I’d ever seen an overly pretty bloke.
😍
Hearing all this butchery is making me squeamish and I have to click out. 😮😢❤
How sad 😢😢
I loved Dead or Alive
I watched big brother when he was in you should watched it
Have you done a biography of Boy George??
Is your last name French?
He looked the best when he was just experimenting with make-up, not the plastic surgery..
it’s giving mickey ultra .. if y’al know what I mean.
💜💕🫶💕💜
🤓👍
"Genuinely liked the experience" Girl wtf wrong choice of words.
Those were LITERALLY his own words
Omg she just honestly stated exactly what he said as a grown adult man! She didn’t just make that up out of nowhere! Pete was a character and an enigma with an acid tongue and said things out of comeplete honesty or for the shock factor. Pete was “just Pete”.

I always loved Pete Burns! I grew up in the 80s. I always thought he was so sexy! I love that he is so extra! ❤😊
He was such a beautiful man, he didn't need to ruin himself with all that surgery. RIP legend.
@ right you are! He was a gorgeous man and woman! A lot of people just cannot see their own beauty. 🥰💕
