Richard Wright

RIP Richard Wright, one of the the founding members of one of the most important - and best - bands of all time.

He may not have been one of the key song writers of the band, and his talent was arguably shadowed by the wonderful musical and lyrical abilities of David Gilmour and Roger Waters. But he was key to the Pink Floyd sound, and his work helped to create much of the atmosphere on Pink Floyd songs. Without him, they would not have been the same wonderful band that they were at their peak. And his death, as well as being a tragedy for his family and friends, sadly ends any hope that the mighty Pink Floyd might ever play together again.
