Leave it to Syd

Well the news of Syd Barretts death was pretty shocking and of course depressing, but with bad news comes good news (Hopefully.) A close friend of the band has released this statement to the Daily Telegraph: "They didn't want to let Syd go without a huge send-off." Apparently this "huge send-off" is supposed to be a tribute show. Of course this may just indeed be another wishful thinking rumor floating around the internet but on the contrary it may be the one issue that can draw them back together. The rumors have been hitting heavy the past few months, there have been numerous occasions where some band members have been pushing for a comeback but the problem seems to lie with David Gilmour. Gilmour who is currently touring seems to be a bit hesitant on a reunion but Waters the once outcast of the band appears to be embracing the idea of a reunion with open arms. The most exciting comments regarding the reformation are from drummer Nick Mason who has previously said "I have to say I'd love to do it, and Wright probably would and even Roger (Waters) is sort of more open to the idea. ut perhaps it's rather a good thing that just occasionally people won't do things for large sums of money." If you think that statement sounds good, listen to this one "It's got to be done because people really want to and think they can do something better." Only time will tell if Floyd will come back together, in the mean time Floyd fans will just have to stay glued to their computers waiting for the next rumor to appear. If there was one member that would bring them back together Syd would have been the man.
