RIP Rick Wright

[Alf Tupper]

I read today that Pink Floyd keyboard player Rick Wright has died from cancer. Very sorry to hear that. In the late 60s and early 70's Floyd were one of my favourite bands and I was lucky enough to see them at Southampton Guildhall in about 1972.

 

Rest in peace Mr Wright, and thanks for the music.

Me too, Alf - a night that will stay in my memory for ever more.

Saw them at the Holywood Bowl in Sept 1972 where they played Dark side of the Moon.

Fantastic atmosphere, light show and of course the music. When the LP was released in the UK

in early 73 my mates were even more envious

 

RIP Mr Wright

Indeed.

Brilliant group and superb musician. A complete one-off band and those who got tickets for Live 8 that are fellow Floyd fans were very, very lucky indeed. RIP Rick for your Great Gig in the Sky.

I hadn't heard this news. How very sad. They are possibly the biggest musical influence on me still.

A real legend, thanks Rick for everything, enjoying jamming with Syd..

Saw him last time at the Albert Hall , playing with Dave Gilmore, Nash and Young, plus David Bowie..a night to remember ...
