    Genesis Breyer P-Orridge
    (born
    Neil Andrew Megson
    ; 22 February 1950 – 14 March 2020) was an English singer-songwriter, musician, poet,
    performance artist
    , visual artist, and
    occultist
    who rose to notability as the founder of the
    COUM Transmissions
    artistic collective and lead vocalist of seminal
    industrial
    band
    Throbbing Gristle
    . P-Orridge was also a founding member of
    Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth
    occult group, and fronted the experimental
    pop rock
    band
    Psychic TV
    .
    Born in
    Manchester
    , P-Orridge developed an early interest in art, occultism, and the
    avant-garde
    while at
    Solihull School
    . After dropping out of studies at the
    University of Hull
    , P-Orridge moved into a counter-cultural commune in
    London
    and adopted
    Genesis P-Orridge
    as their
    nom-de-guerre
    . On returning to Hull, P-Orridge founded COUM Transmissions with
    Cosey Fanni Tutti
    , and in 1973 they relocated to London. COUM's confrontational
    performance work
    , dealing with such subjects as
    sex work
    ,
    pornography
    ,
    serial killers
    , and
    occultism
    , represented a concerted attempt to challenge societal norms and attracted the attention of the national press. COUM's 1976
    Prostitution
    show at London's
    Institute of Contemporary Arts
    was particularly vilified by tabloids, gaining them the moniker of the "wreckers of civilisation." P-Orridge's band, Throbbing Gristle, grew out of COUM, and were active from 1975 to 1981 as pioneers in the industrial music genre. In 1981, P-Orridge co-founded Psychic TV, an experimental band that from 1988 onward came under the increasing influence of
    acid house
    .
    In 1981, P-Orridge co-founded
    Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth
    , an informal occult order influenced by
    chaos magic
    and experimental music. P-Orridge was often seen as the group's leader, but rejected that position, and left the group in 1991. Amid the
    Satanic ritual abuse
    hysteria, a 1992
    Channel 4
    documentary accused P-Orridge of sexually abusing children, resulting in a police investigation. P-Orridge was subsequently cleared and Channel 4 retracted their allegation. As a result of the incident, P-Orridge left the United Kingdom for the United States and settled in New York City. There, P-Orridge married Jacqueline Breyer, later known as Lady Jaye, in 1995, and together they embarked on the Pandrogeny Project, an attempt to unite as a "pandrogyne", or single entity, through the use of surgical
    body modification
    to physically resemble one another. P-Orridge continued with this project of body modification after Lady Jaye's 2007 death. Although involved in reunions of both Throbbing Gristle and Psychic TV in the 2000s, P-Orridge retired from music to focus on other artistic mediums in 2009.
    P-Orridge was credited on over 200 releases during their lifetime. They were cited as an icon within the avant-garde art scene, accrued a
    cult following
    , and had been given the moniker of the "Godparent of Industrial Music".
