Career
Burns worked in a Liverpool record store, Probe Records, which became a meeting place for local musicians while building his career. Burns was known for his mistreatment of customers, with customers often throwing their money at them because he opposed their selection. Burns appeared first at Eric's Club in November 1977 as a member of the short-lived punk band Mystery Girls, which featured Pete Wylie and Julian Cope. Burns' performance style was based on that of transgender punk performer Wayne County, according to Cope.
Burns was the next in Nightmares in Wax, a band that formed in Liverpool in 1979; they released "Black Leather," a 12" single, and a 7" single, "Birth of a Country," both containing the same three songs but no one produced an album; but no one ever produced an album. Burns changed the band's name to Dead or Alive in 1980, after replacing several members.
The band had a number-one hit in the United Kingdom in 1985 with "You Spin Me Round," after a minor hit in 1984 with a cover version of "That's the Way (I Like It). The song went on to become a hit around the world, including in the United States, where it reached the Top 20.
Burns had no intention to be a guitarist. He disliked the sound of his voice and wished he had the opportunity to perform falsetto like Sylvester. He had an uncomfortable relationship with the corporate music industry and expressed dissatisfaction with its operation. He never promised to allow record company employees to hear his music until it was done, which "didn't make [the executives] very happy."
When Burns swore once on its pre-9:30pm watershed Liquid News show when asked about Michael Jackson's verdict on the Michael Jackson case, the BBC apologised to its viewers.
Burns appeared on Channel 4's Celebrity Big Brother 4, eventually ranking fifth on the show's last episode in January 2006. He revealed that one of his coats was made out of gorilla fur, causing indignation among animal rights campaigners and unlicensed gorilla fur is unlawful in the United Kingdom. The coat was later confiscated by police, and it was discovered that it was not gorilla but that it was made out of colobus monkey fur. Colobus monkeys are also an endangered species whose fur requires a licence, though experts suspect the fur was imported in the 1930s or '40s before it became unlawful to import colobus fur in 1975.
Burns appeared in the first episode of the ninth series of Celebrity Wife Swap in the United Kingdom. Michael Simpson's partner Michael Simpson lived with former Page 3 model Leah Newman, while Burns lived with Newman's wife, footballer Neil Ruddock. Burns was featured in a film with a medium that chronicled his difficult and painful childhood.
Burns worked with the Italian Eurodance duo Glam to produce the single "Sex Drive," which was later re-recorded for the album Nukleopatra by the mid-1990s. Burns performed the single "Jack and Jill Party" with the Pet Shop Boys in the early 2000s.
The iTunes Store unveiled Burns' solo song "Never Marry an Icon," co-written by the Dirty Disco, was released on September 7, 2010. Bristar Records, a Dead or Alive member, released the single. Burns' last musical appearance was on Big Brother's Bit on the Side, where he performed "You Spin Me Round." In September 2016, he made his last appearance on Celebrity Botched Up Bodies.
