RIP: RICHARD WRIGHT

And if you don't recognize the name, shame on you. He, of course, was the keyboard player for Pink Floyd thru 1994. Dying way too young at 65 of cancer, his last gig was the Live8 reunion. Besides his keyboard work with the band, he also sang lead vocals on 'Astronomy Domine' on
the Piper At the Gates of Dawn album and wrote the track 'The Great Gig In the Sky' on the Dark Side of the Moon album.
So his work will live on forever, even though he's gone to the great gig in the sky...
