RIP Lady Jaye Breyer P-Orridge (Psychic TV)

Lady Jaye died of unexpected heart failure in the arms of her other half in their Brooklyn apartment, and just after the band's first new (excellent) studio album in a dozen years or so!

Lady Jaye and Genesis were in the midst of an ongoing life-art project to make them look more alike through matching breast implants, haircuts, and other body modifications. The aim was to merge their identities into a single "pandrogynous" being, named Breyer P-Orridge. I can't imagine how hard it is to literally lose half of yourself... Leave condolences here as well as stories or critiques or whatever you like related to Psychic TV and PTV3.

Oh dear. That's actually terrible.

Fuck. RIP. Very sad news.

PTV anecdotes when I'm not so drunk, maybe, but that's very sad.

Ditto and ditto. But where's the Throbbing Gristle love? Why's it all PTV PTV PTV?

Well, Lady Jaye wasn't in TG for a start...

True -- I was thinking more of the memories of PTV thing, but P-Orridge is my track through, so I start with TG, then move on through how he changed/adapted thanks to his (I guess increasingly literal) other half.

Terrible news.

Ah, shit. How terrible for GPO, and Lady Jaye's family and friends. Sad. Really, really sad.
