RIP Richard Wright 1943-2008


Richard Wright (Keyboardist of Pink Floyd) has sadly passed away today due to his battle with cancer. He was just sixty-five years old and one of the backbones of Floyd. He may not have been one of the most recognizable members, but all fans of Floyd will appreciate what he brought to the table. It is such a shame that he had to die so young...

I still think the way Waters treated him was reprehensible. May he rest in peace.

Thanks for adding your top 5 to my blog, Jeff.

I'm thinking about using a copy of The Wall to do all 4 members of Pink Floyd, 2 on each record.

I wish I could find a better picture of Richard though!

Peace.

David - One of the many reasons I find it hard to like Waters.

Layla - Indeed, and thanks for the link!

d.edlen - That would be pretty cool. The Wall isn't one of my favorites but regardless is a classic. I guess there aren't too many options when you need to put on all of the members.
