Richard Wright passes away at 65
15th Sep, 2008 at 6:45pm  
It came as a huge surprise to me to read (just a few hours ago) that Rick Wright, keyboard player and founding member of Pink Floyd, has passed away at the age of 65 due to a short battle with cancer.

Sad news for the entire prog rock community.
RIP Richard Wright

We could do a Richard Wright marathon at SA in memory of this great musician. Just an idea.

In the vain hope that the family reads here too, my condoleances.
A great loss.
May the great spirits be with him.
I count myself amongst the lucky ones that have seen him play life in Rotterdam.

Just logged on to find out here on SA about Richard Wright's death. I suppose I'd really rather hear about it first here than anywhere else; this is the appropriate place, for me at least.

Richard Wright would definitely qualify as an influence on me! I'm almost shocked, certainly surprised.
