Hi, trying to remember name of male singer from 1980s (I think) who died young. I thought it was Marilyn (Peter Robinson), but it wasn’t. Definitely similar though, but not Pete Burns. Any ideas? Much appreciated!

Steve Strange?
You mentioning Pete Burns reminded me a Divine who died in the 1980s but he was not so young
Steve Strange (Visage) or maybe Billy MacKenzie (The Associates)
Good one- yes The Party Fear's Too singer
How long ago did this singer die ?
Solo singer or was he in a band ?
Am assuming if he died young he must of died in 80s or early 90s
It could be Ian Curtis of Joy Division he died in 1980.
Phil Lynott died in 86...
Mark Hollis - Talk Talk
If the OP is thinking along the lines of Marilyn and Pete Burns, I would imagine he's talking gay, flamboyant etc.
Or 'New Romantic', 237SJ ( flamboyant indeed ).
Mick Karn - Japan, singer/bassist
Depends what you mean by young. Freddie Mercury died at 45; some would consider that to be young.
Don't think it was Phil Lynott, then.. :-)
More likely to be Ian Curtis from Joy Division.
Had a look online, the only few I could find, are not really too similar to Marilyn.

Falco
Jermaine Stewart
Baltimora
All died fairly young
Rick James - dead, but wasn't that young.

Thanks for all suggestions, but none of these. I seem to remember him being a kind of rival to Marilyn. Though part of me now wonders whether I mistakenly thought Marilyn had died, as think they were so much like him?! Thanks for help.
The one that came to mind was Marc Bolan of T Rex but he died in the late 70s. He was only 29.
God I didn’t realise all these singers died so young!
Sylvester ?
