Sad :(

Good headline though.

Sad news. Didn't know he was sick.

sad. an underrated member of the floyd, to be sure.

Must have took the Lehman news hard.

Shine on, you crazy diamond.

And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon.

Good headline. This should get the green.

Sad day...
but good memories of live shows

He was a nice guy, and I've seen Pink Floyd probably 30 times since 1971. He'll be missed.

I believe he was the one "fired" by Roger Waters after "The Wall."

I think he also wrote a significant amount of "Dark Side of the Moon."

In pace requiescat.

That sucks. I am very sad now.

The time is gone
The song is over
Thought I'd something more to say

:(

"would you'd like to say something before you leave
Perhaps you'd care to state exactly how you feel
We said goodbye before we've said hello"

Ugh. I'm gonna cry embarrassingly the next time I listen to that song.

Wow. This is sudden, unexpected and saddening news.

Damn.

I didn't know he was ill. 'Tis a sad day for Pink Floyd fans.

I love Pink Floyd, as you can tell by my tattoo PIP, and this is a sad day for me. I had no idea he was sick.

Jeez...I feel like I got sucker punched. How unexpected.

Time to throw on "Summer '68"

Sad.

All hopes of a reunion are now permanently squashed.
(I bet DG knew of Wright's condition when he emphatically closed the door on a reunion.

No wonder the world felt a little more empty this morning... terrible news.

Brutal.

my eyes are leaking.....

RIP

you brought much joy to many people.

R.I.P. Richard

*sniffle*

and I am not frightened of dying, any time will do, I
Dont mind. why should I be frightened of dying?
Theres no reason for it, youve gotta go sometime.

I never said I was frightened of dying. (Pops)

Didn't know he had cancer, that's a real shame.

RIP awesome and undersung keyboard guy

Life is a short, warm moment
And death is a long cold rest.
You get your chance to try in the twinkling of an eye:
Eighty years, with luck, or even less.

R.I.P. Mr. Wright.

Always enjoyed his song "Summer '68" on Atom Heart Mother in particular. Very quiet--almost quintessentially British.

Had no idea he was sick. Sorry to see you leave.

:-(

Man, this news sucks. Now I don't want a Floyd reunion any more.

God dammit.

At work, but this saddens me greatly...

RIP Keyboardman!

/Just listened to that on my way into work this morning...sigh.

Who is this floyd and why is he pink!? Is he a ghey!?

Damn. It's always too soon for the great ones.

Wonder how long before Roger Waters blames David Gilmour and David Gilmour acts like it was all a misunderstanding?

Seriously though, this is sad news indeed.

Oh no!

There goes my dream of seeing Floyd live..Rip Rick.

i'll see you on the darkside of the moon

There goes my chance of there ever being a reunion.

I was going to submit this same exact headline, but someone beat me to the punch (mine was "joined the Great Gig" instead of "gone to that") and I got the "bad kitty" error.

As a Pink Floyd fan, this has destroyed my week that was already pretty ruined by David Foster Wallace's death.

/fark.

Dead Like Me

Not fair. Richard Wright dies and Vanilla Ice is still breathing somewhere. Where's the justice in that?


*goes to put on Us and Them*

this is just farking terrible

:(

If I wasn't away from home, I'd be popping in my P*U*L*S*E DVD right now.

I'll settle for listening to it in the car.

He was a brilliant man and will be missed.
