Default RIP Rick Wright
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/eu_britain_pink_floyd

Quote:
LONDON - Richard Wright, a founding member of the rock group Pink Floyd, died Monday. He was 65.


Pink Floyd's spokesman Doug Wright, who is not related to the artist, said Wright died after a battle with cancer at his home in Britain. He says the band member's family did not want to give more details about his death.
Wright met Pink Floyd members Roger Waters and Nick Mason in college and joined their early band, Sigma 6. Along with the late Syd Barrett, the four formed Pink Floyd in 1965.
i wasn't aware he was sick. as a huge floyd fan, i'm very sad. all hopes of a reunion are now gone for good.

to some, like myself, this is very upsetting. i've been a pink floyd fan for 26 years and have hoped for a reunion of the four members for almost as long.
seeing the four of them on stage at live 8 gave me hope that there could be a chance. now there is none.

now, something appropriate for this thread:
