I'm speechless.

The best way to think about him is to hear his lovely voice:

RIP for the man who provided the synth magic in Pink Floyd.

Pink Floyd wouldn't be Pink Floyd without Richard. His beautiful voice, and genius at the piano/keyboards/synth brought such a unique and memorable flavor.

Thanks Rick! Rest in Peace!

I love Floyd. I may have to bust out Live at Pompeii later tonight. RIP Richard Wright.

It is a small world for metal fanatics. I welcome you fellow musicians, especially the metalheads!

Somewhat different from the Pompei version. Gotta envy the guys playing backup...

If anyone's interested, on the homepage of Planet Rock - http://www.planetrock.co.uk/ - there's a link to post a tribute to Rick.

Great to see the nice things that've been written about him.

:D :D :D

Thanks for the link Vic. What few people comment is that without Rick's contribution many artists such as Tangerine Dream, Kitaro,Vangelis , Jean Michel Jarre or Brian Eno himself wouldn't have been so important to music.
