caddymanI see from the BBC website that Richard Wright, founder member of Pink Floyd has died from cancer aged 65.
The obituary is here:
The Great Gig in the Sky
(Wright) 4:44
"And I am not frightened of dying, any time will do, I
don't mind. Why should I be frightened of dying?
There's no reason for it, you've gotta go sometime."
"If you can hear this whispering you are dying."
"I never said I was frightened of dying."
The obituary is here:
He joined his former bandmates, with the exception of Barrett, one last time at Live 8 in Hyde Park in 2005.
There has since been continual speculation that the group could reform to tour again.
But with Wright's passing, a hugely important chapter in the story of British music has closed.
