One of the Pink Floyd co-founders (keyboards) Richard Wright had died of cancer on September 15, said BBC. Less than three months ago Wright was celebrating his sixty fifth birthday. As his family’s representative has told the press, Wright’s sickness didn’t last long. Also, his relatives asked journalists to respect their tragedy by not bothering them with interviews. Wright made music for such infamous Pink Floyd albums as “Dark Side of the Moon” and “Wish You Were Here”. He took part in every concert were this legendary band was performing, including 2005’s show Live 8. His solo career consists of two albums, “Wet Dream” (1978) and “Broken China” (1996), plus various joint works with David Gilmour and Syd Barrett (the first Pink Floyd’s vocalist).
