Posted on: September 15th, 2008 R.I.P. Richard Wright
Richard Wright, keyboardist and founding member of Pink Floyd has died. His family announced that Richard passed away Monday after a short battle with cancer. Wright was remembered by his friend and bandmate David Gilmour. “No-one can replace Richard Wright — he was my musical partner and my friend,” he said. “In the welter of arguments about who or what was Pink Floyd, Rick’s enormous input was frequently forgotten. He was gentle, unassuming and private but his soulful voice and playing were vital, magical components of our most recognised Pink Floyd sound.”
