British-born industrial music pioneer Peter “Sleazy” Christopherson has died in Bangkok, Thailand at the age of 55. With Genesis P-Orridge, Chris Carter and Cosey Fanni Tutti, he was one quarter of the influential early industrial music / performance art ensemble Throbbing Gristle, slyly named after Brit slang for an erection. Christopherson later musical projects included Psychic TV and Coil, which he formed with his partner, John Balance. In addition to music, he was also an accomplished photographer and video director with credits including videos for Marc Almond, Diamanda Galas, Nine Inch Nails and The Rollins Band. Coil’s version of Tainted Love is a beautiful, chilling reworking of the classic through the lens of three decades of AIDS. Christopherson died in his sleep on November 25th, 2010.
