Well, I don't know which is more surprising - Pete Burns dropping dead, or Bobby Vee still being alive till today!

At least I've heard of Bobby Vee, He had some great hit records, I went to see him in concert once and he was superb.   8-)

Bobby Vee recorded a fantastic album called "Bobby Vee and the Crickets" where they recorded a load of Buddy Holly songs.

Pete Burns dropped dead and he was a member of Dead Or Alive who I have not heard of either but then perhaps they were after my time Simon.  :)

Pete Burns was a freak.  It's no wonder he dropped dead with all the plastic and chemicals he's had put in him.
