Richard Wright Founding Member Of Pink Floyd R.I.P.

Pink Floyd keyboard player and founder member Richard Wright has died aged 65 from cancer.

As a keyboardist and songwriter, Richard Wright helped create the pioneering psychedelic sound that made Pink Floyd one of the world's greatest groups. His atmospheric, jazzy organs and synthesizers were at times at the forefront of their songs, and at others provided a dreamy undercurrent upon which the rest of the band could drift. [...] But with Wright's passing, a hugely important chapter in the story of British music has closed.
