LONDON - A Pink Floyd spokesman says founding member Richard Wright has died. He was 65.

Wright died Monday after a battle with cancer at his home in Britain. His family did not want to give more details about his death. The spokesman is Doug Wright, who is not related to the artist.
Richard Wright met Pink Floyd members Roger Waters and Nick Mason at college and joined their early band Sigma 6.
Sigma 6 eventually became Pink Floyd and Wright wrote and sang some of the band's key songs. He wrote "The Great Gig In The Sky" and "Us And Them" from Pink Floyd's 1973 "The Dark Side Of The Moon."

I'm at a loss ... excuse me while I go put in some CD's and listen for a while.

Aye, a loss indeed. In eerie coincidence, I was singing one of the songs from his solo album in my head this morning.

"I don't know why we go on so ..."

One of my favorite bands...a fellow keyboardist...RIP my friend. Thanks for the great music.

I didn't know he had a solo album. Do tell?

With, without.
And who'll deny it's what the fighting's all about?
Out of the way, it's a busy day
I've got things on my mind.
For the want of the price of tea and a slice
The old man died...

Grew up listening to Floyd. Wright will be missed.

Respect

One of the most poignant tracks on that album.

He will be missed.
