The keyboardist and founding member of Pink Floyd lost his battle to cancer today.


Thanks for the groovy times Richard :closedeyes:

Heard it on the news this morning. :(

I've been a Pink Floyd's fan for 31 years, saw them live in Turin in 1987 and have all their albums (mostly vinyl): his talent was extraordinary, and he'll be greatly missed.

You can easily tell his magic touch even in Gilmour's solo album from 2006, "On an Island".

Vaya con Dios Richard. A talented musician and part of a unique group that was such a part of my youth.

Condolences to Rick & his family. I got to see him play 2 nights in 2006 with David Gilmour.
He garnered the most applause of all at the end of the show. A genuine gentleman.
