I am afraid there won't be too many people around this forum who would have any idea who that was.

More true now than ever.
RIP.

Actually I never had an idea until maybe six month ago, when some remark I had stumbled upon on FB made me curious and I read a few articles about and interviews with him. Quite an interesting character, although I wasn't sure if I found him so likeable.
So, my interest more or less ended there, but I understand that he was an important influence on many, including some artists I adore...

Eeeh, I think he preferred to be called she/her/  Confusing times, I agree.

If you believe Cosey Fanni Tutti's autobiography, which I tend to, GPO wasn't likeable at all, but the effect GPO had on industrial and music was undeniable.

Ha!  Well, turns out that I wasn't quite up to date then - or maybe this detail has just slipped from my short memory again...
Anyway, he, she, it - it's all OK for me as long as people are happy with whatever they are at a given point of time...

I was very much into TG in the late 70's. For me they complimented/mirrored/contrasted the spacey ambient I loved with the dark side of human behaviours.
Saw them in 81 - but found Z'ev more fascinating in the same concert. He had these huge metal bins on lengths of chain and spent some time making a sound like an enormous noisy singing bowl....

Now that you mention it, Z'Ev isn't with us any longer either.
Missed to see him in Vlissingen some years ago…
