Pink Floyd’s Richard Wright has died after a short struggle with Cancer, aged 65.

What more fiting song to remember him by than this one that he wrote for Dark side of the Moon, released 1973 and still going strong after 35 years.

Richard Wright, 1943-2008, RIP

  1. I was shocked to find out.It also seemed ironic after reading an interview with David Gilmour in this month’s MOJO.
    He was effectively putting a permanent kibosh on Floyd ever getting back together. Now we know why..

    RIP Rick
