paul demo Posted 15 september 2008 Report Share Posted 15 september 2008 Floyd founder Wright dies at 65 Wright (right) wrote songs on albums including Dark Side Of The Moon Pink Floyd keyboard player and founder member Richard Wright has died aged 65 from cancer. Wright appeared on the group's first album, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, in 1967 alongside lead guitarist Syd Barrett, Roger Waters and Nick Mason. Dave Gilmour joined the band at the start of 1968 while Barrett left the group shortly afterwards. Gilmour said: "He was such a lovely, gentle, genuine man and will be missed terribly by so many who loved him." Writing on his website, he added: "And that's a lot of people. Did he not get the loudest, longest round of applause at the end of every show in 2006?" Wright's spokesman said in a statement: "The family of Richard Wright, founder member of Pink Floyd, announce with great sadness that Richard died today after a short struggle with cancer. "The family have asked that their privacy is respected at this difficult time." He did not say what form of cancer the self-taught keyboard player and pianist had. Live 8 Wright, a founder member of The Pink Floyd Sound - and other previous incarnations including Sigma 6 - met Waters and Mason at architecture school. Wright rejoined Pink Floyd for the London Live 8 concert in 2005 Pink Floyd achieved legendary status with albums including 1973's The Dark Side Of The Moon, which stayed in the US album chart for more than a decade. Wright, known as Rick earlier in his career, wrote The Great Gig In The Sky and Us And Them from the album. Waters left the band in 1981, performing his last concert at London's Earls Court. Wright, together with Gilmour and Mason, continued to record and tour as Pink Floyd during the remainder of the 1980s and into the 1990s, releasing their last studio album - The Division Bell - in 1994. In 2005, the full band reunited - for the first time in 24 years - for the Live 8 concert in London's Hyde Park. Wright also contributed vocals and keyboards to Gilmour's 2006 solo album On An Island, while performing with his touring band in shows in Europe and the US.

hderkx Posted 15 september 2008 Report Share Posted 15 september 2008 Ik ben er niet rouwig om. Uiteraard wel spijtig voor de nabestaanden. Pink Floyd is nooit mijn ding geweest. HDerkx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodejuu Posted 15 september 2008 Report Share Posted 15 september 2008 Ik ben er niet rouwig om. Uiteraard wel spijtig voor de nabestaanden. Pink Floyd is nooit mijn ding geweest. HDerkx Dat heb ik nou met Elvis en Roy Orbitor en zal ik ook hebben met Fransje Boer. Huub, die opmerking was eigenlijk niet nodig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rein! Posted 16 september 2008 Report Share Posted 16 september 2008 Als die zuurpruim van een Hubertinus omvalt zal ik er ook geen traan om laten. Maar vraag me in alle eerlijkheid wel af wat het nut is telkens een nieuw topic voor een overleden muzikant. Moet er bewezen worden dat audiofielen in het verleden leven? Ooit zal ook de man die Hotel California schreef dood gaan, begin maar vast met wennen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hderkx Posted 16 september 2008 Report Share Posted 16 september 2008 Hallo Sodejuu, ik heb gereageerd omdat ik het overbodig vind om een nieuw topic te openen over de dood van deze man. Om 18.34 was hij namelijk al herdacht in het topic dat zich daarop richt. Ik had er zeker over nagedacht of ik nou wel of niet zou reageren. @Rein, dat hoeft ook niet. Ik vind het wel prettig dat jij toch ook je vraagtekens bij steeds een apart topic hebt. HDerkx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luxmanL81 Posted 16 september 2008 Report Share Posted 16 september 2008 dan maar een popster(en)-overlijdings topic openen ! maar of je nou wel of niet de pink floyd je ding is maakt niet uit daar ging het niet over................. dit was de insteek van Paul Demon Pink Floyd zal nooit meer compleet zijn. en als er een artiest passes by gaat ik niet automatisch naar dit topic Weer een grote naar de eeuwige jam, en over 30 jaar hebben we weer een topic.. dan dus toch maar .......zie eerste zin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hderkx Posted 16 september 2008 Report Share Posted 16 september 2008 Dus dan zou ik nu zo'n 50 topics kunnen openen over groepen die niet meer hetzelfde zullen zijn omdat er een of meer van de leden niet meer leven? Ja zeg je dan. Ik vind (goed lezen) dat overbodig. Maar jullie mogen Pink Floyd best knuffelen hoor. HDerkx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luxmanL81 Posted 16 september 2008 Report Share Posted 16 september 2008 No one can replace Richard Wright. He was my musical partner and my friend. In the welter of arguments about who or what was Pink Floyd, Rick's enormous input was frequently forgotten. He was gentle, unassuming and private but his soulful voice and playing were vital, magical components of our most recognised Pink Floyd sound. I have never played with anyone quite like him. The blend of his and my voices and our musical telepathy reached their first major flowering in 1971 on 'Echoes'. In my view all the greatest PF moments are the ones where he is in full flow. After all, without 'Us and Them' and 'The Great Gig In The Sky', both of which he wrote, what would 'The Dark Side Of The Moon' have been? Without his quiet touch the Album 'Wish You Were Here' would not quite have worked. In our middle years, for many reasons he lost his way for a while, but in the early Nineties, with 'The Division Bell', his vitality, spark and humour returned to him and then the audience reaction to his appearances on my tour in 2006 was hugely uplifting and it's a mark of his modesty that those standing ovations came as a huge surprise to him, (though not to the rest of us). Like Rick, I don't find it easy to express my feelings in words, but I loved him and will miss him enormously.

Andre Kel Posted 17 september 2008 Report Share Posted 17 september 2008 Dus weer even on topic, Tja de vraag is of er dan ooit nog een optreden van Pink Floyd gaat komen. Vind het wel jammer, 65 is geen leeftijd om het tijdelijke met het eeuwige te verruilen. Min condoleances aan de nabestaanden en ook een beetje aan mij zelf. Draai het nog heel vaak en er zal waarschijnlijk niks nieuws meer uitkomen. De herinnering is mooi...... Dus hou nou op of dit wel of niet hear thuis hoort, er hoort hear zoveel en zo velen niet thuis..... Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
