Some verry bad news for all Pink Floyd fans

Just been reading this http://www.nme.com/news/pink-floyd/23570 and it says Syd Barrett sadly passed away on friday :( .

Like them or loathe them Pink Floyd is one of the biggest and well known bands around and Syd Barrett was one of the founder members who wrote their first album and inspired them for future albums. Even tho they parted company in the early days if it wasnt for Syd Barrett then Pink Floyd would have probably never been which would have been a great loss for British music.IMO probably the best band ever and truly original music yet to be matched.

Regards Paul Mc

shine on you crazy diamond, just goes to show the dangers of drug use. This should be a lesson to all young people everywhere

 

Where's the lesson? take shed loads of drugs as a young man and you'll die at the age of 60 from cancer? seems like everyday life to me rather than a morality play about the dangers of drugs.........
