wish you were (still) here
from left to right: david gilmour, roger waters, nick mason and rick wright.
and one by one, they all quietly leave.
following his friend and band mate syd barret, who died in july 2006, rick wright, founder member and keyboard player of the legendary pink floyd, passed away on the 15th of september 2008 at the age of 65 from cancer.
the self-taught keyboard player and pianist was a quiet component in the creative genius that was pink floyd. over the last so many years, when people fought over who or what pink floyd was, when people fought over whether it was gilmour or waters, wright’s creative input and quiet stability often went unnoticed.
to remember this great man, we must remember what they were: truly, at the beginning. who pink floyd was before they became music’s biggest landmark in time. before the fights, the rifts, the deaths. they were young, unafraid and they experimented. they took things we already knew, and turned them into something we had never known before. they gave us the strength and knowledge it took to appreciate things that we had never thought had any value.
what was pink floyd about? simply, and incomparably: innovation
RIP rick wright. and RIP, the untouched memory of early pink floyd.
Rick wright has left to play that great gig in the sky…must be kicking ass there ryt now…Rest in peace…
