Richard Wright
28 July 1943 - 15 September 2008
Wright møtte Nick Mason og Roger Waters på an arkitektskole i Cambridge i England midt på 60-tallet. De dannet Pink Floyd sammen med Syd Barrett. Så lagde de The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, and the rest is history. Mandag 15.sept tapte han den korte, men slitsomme kampen mot kreft. Det er usikkert hvilken kreft det var snakk om. Han ble 65 år.
Richard Wright var selvlært pianist og var geniet bak låter som The Great Gig in the Sky og Us and Them fra "Dark Side Of The Moon".
David Gilmour sa dette etter hans bortgang:
"I really don't know what to say other than that he was such a lovely, gentle, genuine man and will be missed terribly by so many who loved him.
And that's a lot of people. Did he not get the loudest, longest round of applause at the end of every show in 2006?"

Rest in Peace, Richard (you crazy diamond)!!
