Article · Español
Peter John Joseph Murphy (n. 11 de julio de 1957, cerca de Northampton, Reino Unido), es el vocalista del grupo post-punk Bauhaus, además de poseer una amplia carrera en solitario, alcanzado su cenit comercial en 1990. Delgado y elegante, con prominentes pómulos y aspecto vampiríco, con una voz rica y profunda y una inclinación por la poesía melancólica; Murphy ha sido considerado "El padrino del rock gótico y la subcultura gótica". Algunos críticos han tachado sus letras de "pretenciosas" o "incomprensibles" debido a su excesivo regusto por la poesía y al tratamiento de temas metafísicos y religiosos. Su registro musical, sobre todo tras la disolución de Bauhaus, ha evolucionado por numerosos géneros, desde la electrónica, el new wave, hasta el rock alternativo pasando por la música oriental o los sonidos after-punk. En 2010 hizo un cameo para la película The Twilight Saga: Eclipse donde interpreta a un despiadado vampiro en una pequeña secuencia de flashback.
