4 Pete Burns: famous singer, spent almost all of his life savings on reconstructive surgery
Pete Burns, former frontman of the British band Dead or Alive –famous for their single “You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)”–, has had extensive polyacrylamide injections into his lips, along with cheek implants, several nose re-shapings and many tattoos. He revealed in early 2006 that he had spent almost all of his life savings on eighteen months of reconstructive surgery after a procedure on his lips went horribly wrong.
