It's hard smoking a cigarette when you're Pete Burns...



Eighties singer Pete Burns shows how smoking a cigarette can be a real drag.

The former Dead or Alive frontman, who has undergone extensive plastic surgery, appeared to struggle to hold it between his pumped up lips as he lit up outside a west London café yesterday.



Pete, 50, was joined by his civil partner Michael Simpson who was sporting a goatee beard and a bandanna.

The eccentric You Spin Me Round singer wrapped up warm in a sheepskin coat and the pair looked glum as they sat slurping on their drinks.

He revealed in early 2006 in a pre-Big Brother interview 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.

Earlier this year the star was rushed to hospital after collapsing following kidney failure.

Burns discovered he had seven kidney stones that were so large they would have to be removed via laser surgery.

He seems to be back on track with his husband now, however, following their violent bust-up earlier this year and his subsequent arrest.



Pete claimed that Michael had purposely leaked their sex tape and also insinuated that Michael had been unfaithful throughout their civil partnership.
