O.M.G!!
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.
This is terrible news
RIP Rick, your music has and always will mean so much to me.

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.
RIP Rick

A wee bit on the BBC about it, http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7617363.stm sad news indeed. As with many others Pink Floyd have been a real presence in my life, seen them many times live and loved their music.
RIP

Very sad news.
Pink Floyd had such a unique sound in their early - middle years, largely down to his keyboard sound and the position in the mix that he had.
Then the guitarist and the bass player took over ....
