Richard Wright, one of the founding members of Pink Floyd, has died.

Many of us have a favourite Pink Floyd track, and this is one of mine:

High Hopes from The Division Bell

This being the very last song that Pink Floyd has written to date (and its placement at the end of their last album of new material to date) lends itself to the interpretation that the song narrates the story of the band's career, from their beginnings to their grandiose success (with The Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall) to their breakup to their carrying on. The final line ("The endless river, forever and ever") ties into one of the band's first hits, "See Emily Play" ("Float on a river, forever and ever"). Wikipedia.

To borrow a comment from YouTube, "Shine on Richard, you'll be missed."

Yes, he was a treasure. I just read 'The making of The Wall' about two weeks ago and saw the DVD upon completion of the book.

Rest in Peace, Richard. You did well.

I saw the news yesterday. A sad, sad loss indeed, and he did seem a thoroughly genuine 'good guy' as well as a musician and song writer.
