Joe Musker, the original drummer with the band Dead or Alive has described Peter Burns as the 'ace face' of Liverpool after his death, aged 57.

"As far as I was concerned he was the 鈥榓ce face鈥� in Liverpool. He was just so flamboyant, he was right out there with his dress, he always looked absolutely amazing, he was a pleasure to work with," he told 5 live.

Musker explained how Burns鈥� dress sense was the inspiration for the band鈥檚 name, 鈥渉e had this hat on like Davy Crockett and a fringed jacket and I said, 鈥榳hy don鈥檛 you call the band Dead or Alive?鈥欌��.

Burns, who died after suffering a cardiac arrest, became famous in the 1980s for his androgynous style and progressive approach to gender issues. His band's single You Spin Me Round (like a Record) spent two weeks at number one in 1985.
