I have already written about this on the Pink floyd thread - sorry to insist with this, but this news has saddened me terribly. A huge loss for the progressive rock music world if i may say so.

I wish everyone would play their favourite Pink Floyd album or RW solo work and remember Rick for the outstanding musician he was (can't believe i'm writing in past tense). I'm listening to Pink Floyd right now.

Thank you Rick for enchanting and delighting my soul for almost 20 years since I discovered PF and your astonishing talent and musicianship.

But the Family wants or not that this new never pass???

because Italian fanzine www.truemetal.it has told this.

Sorry but i did not understand what you are asking me. i found out about this news on a prog-rock forum, and read the BBC news link about Rick's death.

this makes me hella sad. RICK WRIGHT I MOURNZ YOU.

I will prob listen to Dark Side tonight, prob Piper too
R.I.P.
Pink Floyd should be added to metalstorm as 'prog rock' in his honour!!
So many metal bands/ bands rip them off!!

I would like to know how he passed as well..

His death is undisclosed...that's too bad...they'll reveal it one of these days...did he have any health problems at all?

He had cancer, that's the only detail it is known (not what kind). I think nevertheless that it's good to keep things as private as possible. I for one can respect that.

oooh this sucks

Cancer takes the life of so many musicians...it's sad that Wright had to go this way too...
