I think he has issues (he says he has surgery is for sanity not vanity) resulting from things like his mother being alcoholic and him having to parent her. I can't find any info on whether his father was around - does anyone know?
Um, that's band member Steve Coy in the before photo.
Pretty sad for the Landlord left out of pocket too. I appreciate that Burns has issues, but that poor landlord has suffered near ruin and a breakdown simply by virtue of not getting a bean of his money.
Indeed it is. To be £34,000 out of pocket and suffering from stress because your tenant would rather blow the rent he owes you on turning himself into some kind of freakshow must be difficult. Hope he gets his money.
Best known for his 1985 hit You Spin Me Round, Pete also made a memorable appearance on the 2006 series of Celebrity Big Brother before stepping back from the limelight.
Back in 2009, he won £450,000 in an out of court settlement after he fell victim to a botched lip surgery.
I think he looks completely weird. I agree with other posters that say that he can't be happy when he sees his face in the mirror. I can't understand why he wanted facial surgery for. His face looks a complete and utter mess now. In fact, forget now, it looked a mess when he appeared on Celebrity Big Brother. His face just looks an absolute mess!

Difficult to muster much sympathy really, although he is a fairly tragic figure.
Meh, basically a one hit wonder who no one would remember if he hadn't turned his face into a human freakshow.
Nasty, self obsessed piece of work without an ounce of compassion in his botched up body

I could never understand why he took against Traci Bingham so much on CBB calling her repugnant. Poor lass looked baffled, she pleasantly harmless. He was witty but he ain't no Boy George. Doesn't have the talent for Diva status and Boy George can laugh at himself.
Looks like something out of a horror film. The likes of Pete Burns and Leslie Ash should be enough to put everyone off even considering plastic surgery, yet it's just getting more and more popular.
For all the bad one's there's millions who get it done everyday and are done well. most actors and singers have had a rhinoplasty and a little adjustment here and there a lot wont admit it but you can easily see from their high school pictures lol. if the work is good you won't even notice or be able to tell.

I believe that he's got body dysmorphic order, as another member mentioned, and I feel badly that he does.
I understand your point of view as well, because he comes across as being arrogant and cruel sometimes. Still, it could be his coping mechanism.
I watched an interview featuring Pete Burns on You Tube, and he's his usual conceited self, blow-harding away until one snippet in which and looks vulnerable, the last minute or so of this vid:
I feel a bit sorry for Pete. He comes across as having a personality defect where he will be uncompromising no matter what. That might have got him chart success earlier on in his career for his single-minded determination but I would say that's also damaged his career and life. He just doesn't seem to have a no button. Surely someone would have said along the way that he needed to stop with the surgery. Isn't there any code of conduct that surgeons need to adhere to if they are faced with a patient who appears to have an addiction to changing their face?
Why feel sorry for Pete? I'm a compassionate person but he proved himself to be a nasty, bullying sexist when he was on Big Brother.
Oh come on, he was only in there for a couple of weeks and playing up to the nasty guy image I'm sure he knew the public would judge him as anyway. You can't base your whole view of someone from one show. He was also on Pete's PA not long after Big Brother and he was gutted and often moved to genuine tears every time someone had to be evicted from the process.

Because he didn't seem to express any remorse after sociopathically bullying two contestants to tears.
As for the other show, maybe he can turn his tears on and off like a tap. Selective empathy.

I wouldn't be surprised if he was playing up to a nasty guy image. It certainly looked as if he was trying to be as nasty as hell about Jodie Marsh back then.

I agree with you.
I found this article a little earlier on this morning:
Pete Burns Is Evicted From Flat
That really is sad.

The article said he was understanding of Pete's problems. I guess he was simply taken advantage of.

Sadly the link to the actual interview is no longer available
I assume they stopped being buddy's years ago, Mozza wouldn't rub noses with someone who flaunts wearing a coat made of an endangered species.
Also I don't recall Mozza mentioning Pete Burns in his autobiography

Maybe he kept saying he'd get the money, now with bankruptcy things changed.

Maybe he could sell some of that overpriced tat from Vivienne Westwood he is always in to repay his debts.
Sorry I just think he is NAFF

That's when his human side emerges.
He really does, in many photos, doesn't he?
I also think that he resembles The Bride Of Wildenstein, another plastic surgery addict:
Another person who was good-looking, IMO, before the onslaught of plastic surgery.
