Pink Floyd keyboard player and founder member Richard Wright has died, aged 65, from cancer.
Wright appeared on the group's first album, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, in 1967 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.

Gilmour said: "No-one can replace Richard Wright - he was my musical partner and my friend."

MAN, this sux to hear this early in the morning. I am always praying that one day they would go back on tour with the original group. Waters and all.

He will be missed by many generations.

****. Sad day.

This video reminds me of when MTV cut away from the solo in Comfortably Numb to have two no-name "VJs" talk about Pink Floyd //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

Sad news. Wonder how the other band mates are doing.

sucks.....I guess there won't be a reunion tour with all original members. (after cid of course). Good thing they got to do one last show together for Live 8.

R.I.P to a member of one of the greatest bands to ever grace the presence of this earth.
