Post by: Nearly Sane on October 24, 2016, 07:05:42 PM

Despite all the plastic surgery, still spent lots of time dancing to You Spin Me Round

Just read this on the Beeb.

I know he was odd by some peoples standards - but I can't help remembering the joy of dancing to 'You spin me..'

Sad.

Agree with both earlier posts. FTR it was nice in the eighties to hear a voice that sounded masculine, as opposed to all those who sounded like girls (ie Matt Goss).

Also it was sad that Pete was originally rather a handsome man, but he messed his face up big time. RIP.

He certainly was good looking, Humph.  Apparently he had 'body dysmorphia' and was addicted to plastic surgery, some of which nearly sent him to an earlier death.

He can't have been a very happy man, RIP indeed.
