The moment that Dead Or Alive singer and reality TV star Pete Burns announced on his official site that his new single, “Never Marry An Icon”, will soon appear in digital music stores worldwide, millions of eager fans began counting the days. Their wait is over. Pete Burns, whose song “You Spin Me Round” has been a dance music cornerstone since its 1984 release, is a music icon notorious for his flamboyant appearance, powerful vocal delivery, and penchant for making mincemeat out of society’s sacred cows. In this new track, he takes on a hot issue that’s fuelling the tabloids and gossip sites: celebrity relationships, which can be both a stairway to heaven and highway to hell for all concerned. Never marry an icon / to get famous.
Never marry an icon / they’re outrageous.
Never marry an icon /rebel rebel to the core.
Never marry an icon / cos they’re always wanting more.
