They had two songs, "You Spin Me Right Round" and "Brand New Lover". Burns, who was transsexual, died of cardiac arrest.

I think medication from so many plastic surgeries contributed to his medical problems. He was a troubled individual, his face no longer looked human.

RIP Pete Burns. Certainty had an influence on the glam and darkwave scene, his group had some good songs. He did go very far with the surgeries and was having a lot of issues overall in recent years.

Where did you get that Pete was a transsexual??? He simply altered his facial appearance in a drastic way through plastic surgery. But he remained as a male. As you can see, he died named "Pete Burns" not "Petra Burns" or whatever.

He was a cross dresser, my mistake.

I may not agree with Pete Burns' lifestyle and decisions. I will say he is a good vocalist who sings on many great songs. "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)" is constantly refreshing for listening.

For like a decade I thought "Dead Can Dance" and "Dead Or Alive" were the same band.

Radically different sound with the exception of DCDs first album. Both good groups though.

Pete Burns had a unique voice!

I remember my older sister having a Dead or Alive poster on her bedroom wall.
