RIP.

His contribution to Pink Floyd has been underestimated for years. Just listen to Shine On and Darkside of the Moon and Echoes.

Or best of all have a look at the Pink Floyd Pompeii film to see them at their best.

Very true, so depressed on hearing this, I always planned on flying to the UK to see them play if they ever got together again since i couldn't see them at Live8.

Sad day for music.

RIP Rick Wright

They played the whole live version of Echoes last night on Planet Rock as a tribute. Wonderful.

What a coincidence. Exactly 111 days earlier at precisely that time, I was at Wembley Arena watching Frank Zappa.
