Is there a way to bump up the frequency of Floyd on Stellar for the next day or two? Short battle with cancer? So it was something pretty aggressive, then?

There is little information available as to how Richard exactly passed but from the reports that I have read, it appears to have been relatively sudden.

A very poignant quote from the front page of David Gilmour's website ...

"No one can replace Richard Wright. He was my musical partner and my friend. In the welter of arguments about who or what was Pink Floyd, Rick's enormous input was frequently forgotten."

We will miss you Rick! Wearing the inside out "...And with these words I can hear, Clear through the clouds that covered me. Just give it time then speak my name Now we can hear ourselves again..."

Most definitely, Darran. Especially the Wright solo material, which I haven't heard before. For instance, "Holiday", a wonderful, wistful pop track.
