Richard Wright is the subject of my favorite Pink story, as related by Nicholas Schaffner. During the final touches in the recording of The Wall Waters insisted that Wright be put out of the band. Later, when the other three staged the incredibly complicated and expensive tour to support the album, Wright was the only member of the original band to make any money on the deal, as he was guaranteed a salary as a session player. The others lost their shirts.

I love it when things like that happen.

R.I.P. Richard.

Yes when I first heard the news that was my first selfish thought: "We will never hear the four of them, the classic floyd, play together again on stage."

I had always imagined that they would put aside their differences and play together once more.

After the shock passed I was just sad as this was so unexpected .... R.I.P.
