LONDON - A Pink Floyd spokesman says founding member Richard Wright has died. He was 65.

Wright died Monday after a battle with cancer at his home in Britain. His family did not want to give more details about his death. The spokesman is Doug Wright, who is not related to the artist.

Richard Wright met Pink Floyd members Roger Waters and Nick Mason at college and joined their early band Sigma 6.

Sigma 6 eventually became Pink Floyd and Wright wrote and sang some of the band's key songs. He wrote "The Great Gig In The Sky" and "Us And Them" from Pink Floyd's 1973 "The Dark Side Of The Moon."

He left the group in the early 1980s to form his own band but rejoined Pink Floyd for their 1987 album "A Momentary Lapse of Reason."

Goodbye

Such a fucking talent, sad to think he's gone.

Wearing The Inside Out
From morning to night I stayed out of sight
Didn’t recognise I’d become
No more than alive I’d barely survive
In a word… overrun
Won’t hear a sound
From my mouth
I’ve spent too long
On the inside out…
My skin is cold
To the human touch
This bleeding heart’s
Not beating much
He’s curled into the corner
But still the screen is flickerin
With and endless stream of garbage to
curse the place
In a sea of random images
The self-destructing animal
Waiting for the waves to break
I murmured a vow of silence and now
I don’t even hear when I think aloud
Extinguished by light I turn on the night
Wear its darkness with an empty smile
I’m creeping back to life
My nervous system all away
I’m wearing the inside out
Look at him now
He’s paler somehow
But he’s coming round
He’s starting to choke
It’s been so long since he spoke
Well he can have the words right from my mouth
And with these words I can see
Clear through the clouds that covered me
Just give it time then speak my name
Now we can hear ourselves again
I’m holding out
For the day
When all the clouds
Have blown away
I’m with you now
Can speak your name
Now we can hear
Ourselves again
He’s standing on the threshold
Caught in fiery anger
And hurled into the furnace he’ll
… curse the place
He’s torn in all directions
And still the screen is flickering
Waiting for the flames to break


Sad news =(

RIP

god dammit

Completely underrated keyboard genius, and one of my inspirations to pick up the keys. Listen to Shine On and you'll hear just how much his Moog synth made that song. Underrated harmonist as well (Us and Them & Burning Bridges).

Thank god they all got back together before he died. Even if this doesn't hurt as much as if Gilmour or Waters passed, this hurts pretty bad.

[Poop Sailboat]

this sucks.

[ADD]

They should have toured!

[NOTKyle]

They still can, Weekend at Bernie's style.

I'd actually go if there was a corpse playing the keytar.

[Bill Paxton]

Im sure he was going to produce some really quality music in the next few years too. People usually come up with their best shit when they're in their mid to late 60s.

[lce-man]

That's sad. Always liked Pink Floyd.

[CaptainCockslap]

I'm guess this means there will be a new tour coming soon.... ka ching!
