Floyd founder Wright dies at 65

Wright wrote songs on albums including Dark Side Of The Moon
Pink Floyd keyboard player and founder member Richard Wright has died at the age of 65 after battling cancer, his spokesman has said.

The group released their first record in 1967 with Wright appearing alongside lead guitarist Syd Barrett, Roger Waters and Nick Mason.

Dave Gilmour joined the band at the start of 1968 while Barrett left the group shortly afterwards.

Wright penned songs on albums including Dark Side Of The Moon.

R.I.P. Rick.
All my thought to his family & friends.

I've always been a big admirer of Richard Wright as keyboardist of my all-time favourite band Pink Floyd.
I feel really sad hearing this news...
 
i was just listening to "Welcome to the Machine" this morning and thinking how AWESOME the synths are on that...quite revolutionary stuff...

R.I.P man - another great one gone
 
wow, deffinaetly my fav band/group/artists/songwriter of all time, floyd, wright was so awesome too

floyd is one of my biggest influences as well, crazy synths, and one of the main reasons i want a moog product so bad

May He Rest In Peace.
