Was very sad to learn of the death of Pink Floyd's Richard Wright yesterday.

Yes that's a real shame, thought we'd get a lot more music from him yet  :cry2:

It was only the other week I bought a new copy of Rick's superb solo album 'Broken China', and yesterday was the 33rd anniversary of the release of 'Wish You Were Here'.  Needless to say, I'm devastated... for me his keyboard playing was an essential (and somewhat underrated) part of the Pink Floyd Sound.

Many thanks Rick for giving the world some truly great music.

R.I.P

P.S. for Steph (and anyone else) if you're interested, I have updated the Home and Band History pages of my PF tribute site to reflect the sad passing of Rick.

The blog for Rick is now closed to new comments, but it is well worth a read:
