Pink Floyd are one of my all time favourite bands and I've been living in hope of seeing all four of them playing together for one last time.

Pink Floyd member Wright dies at 65

Richard Wright, a founder member of Pink Floyd, has died at the age of 65 after battling cancer, his spokesman said.

Wright played the keyboard with the legendary band and wrote music in classic albums such as Dark Side Of The Moon and Wish You Were Here.

His spokesman said: "The family of Richard Wright, founder member of Pink Floyd, announce with great sadness, that Richard died ... after a short struggle with cancer. The family have asked that their privacy is respected at this difficult time."

Wright's spokesman did not say from what form of cancer the star had been suffering.

The self-taught keyboardist and pianist met fellow band members Roger Waters and Nick Mason while at architecture school.

He was a founder member of The Pink Floyd Sound in 1965, and the group's previous incarnations, such as Sigma 6.

Terribly sad news :'( The guy was one of my music heros. A legend.

RIP Richard
 
Bad day for music - 31 years ago today Bolan died! :(
 
Wish You Were Here was the reason I bought a CD player and Dark Side of The Moon was the reason I bought a SACD player.

:(
 
I've been on holiday so have only just heard about this.

He'll be sadly missed for sure.
