Dead or Alive singer Pete Burns' autobiography Freak Unique: My Story??will be published in the UK on April 10th. The book is reputed to be a tell-all account of his life in public and in private and will include details of his affairs with major rock stars, his marriage and his plastic surgery.

Synopsis
Pete Burns has found a new audience with his outrageous antics on Celebrity Big Brother. Whether being berated for wearing an alleged 'gorilla' coat, or destroying any one of his housemates with a withering putdown, he's the undoubted star of the show. But there's much more to Pete than meets the eye - and what with his extraordinary features and sense of fashion, that really saying something.

He became a star with the band Dead Or Alive, who had a huge hit with "You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)" in the mid-80s, but until now he has never told his own amazing story.
??
It includes frank details of his affairs with major rock stars, his long-time marriage, how he had to sell his GBP 2m house to pay for the plastic surgery that went wrong and caused horrific injuries to his lips. He's had an amazing career and still commands a huge global following. When it came to going into the Big Brother house, Pete declared he was not going to be a team player - and this sensational book about his life shows how he's always been a true individual and a born star.

"Explosion" will be launched as a major exhibition of rare rock music posters, May 12 to June 8th at The Movie Poster Gallery, London, W1.

Advertising campaigns behind record releases and the promotion of bands is one of popular music’s most creative offshoots, but also one of the most under-valued. Over the years a wealth of compelling graphic design talent has powerfully shaped the public image of singers, bands and record companies.

The anarchic work of Jamie Reid for the Sex Pistols, the industrial-classical pastiches of Peter Saville for Factory Records and the imagined worlds of Roger Dean for Yes created a total visual language and stylistic expression for their bands in an involvement that often went much deeper than mere packaging. Morrissey's visionary concepts for the Smiths record releases will be displayed in their original music poster formats.


??

A??less well known area is Morrissey's own creative inspiration and direction over the teasingly suggestive imagery that so distinguished The Smiths' record sleeves and.....not so well known....posters. One of the most brilliantly conceived visual 'themes' in Pop history, appropriately for Morrissey "they suggest much but admit nothing".

For 1987's single 'Sheila Take A Bow' the cover star was Andy Warhol's transvestite Factory 'Superstar' Candy Darling, in a shot from Warhol's 1971 'Women In Revolt'. Born James Lawrence Slattery, Candy was memorably immortalised in Lou Reed's 'Walk On The Wild Side'.

One polemical exception was conceived for 1985's 'Meat Is Murder'. Morrissey took the famous image of the determinedly non-Aquarian young Vietnam 'grunt' (from Emile de Antonio's 1969 anti-war film 'In the Year of the Pig') whose helmet bore the words "Make War Not Love" and replaced them with a heartful message of his own.



??

Also on exhibit are original music posters of Jimi Hendrix, Elvis Presley, The Rolling Stones, Joy Division, New Order, The Clash, The Beatles, The Fall and Elvis Costello.

Many of the posters are rare and have never been shown together in one exhibition.
Lovers of original music posters will find starting prices affordable. For music enthusiasts and collectors everywhere, EXPLOSION is not to be missed.
