RIP: Richard Wright
Very sad news today about the death of Rick Wright, talented keyboard player with the legendary Pink Floyd and often under-appreciated musical craftsman.
Wright was part of the core talent of the Pink Floyd sound, having first formed the band together with Syd Barrett, Roger Waters and Nick Mason, back in 1967.
He was a key part of the sound, recording and performing with the Floyd from their debut album “Piper at the Gates of Dawn” onwards.

Just heard that Pink Floyd founder and 60′s mega-talent Syd Barrett passed away today at the age of 60.
All the god’s blessings on you Syd … I hope that wherever you are now, you have found the peace and happiness that seemed to elude you through a large portion of your life.
The crazy diamond shines no more … and the world is the poorer for it.
