Mr Burns hailed from Wirral, Merseyside, and found fame after establishing the band Dead Or Alive in 1980. In more recent years, he went on to feature on several reality television shows.
His appearance was drastically altered via plastic surgery procedures – which he himself numbered at around 300 in total. Shockingly, some 200 of those surgeries are believed to have taken place over just a two year period.
