Yep have to add my respects..... huge loss really,more influential than he was ever given credit for me thinks. He was integral to the Pink Floyd sound just as much as Gilmore and Walters were.

RIP
Neil.

One of the classiest keyboardist ever died.
RIP Wright, and thanks for all the emotions you gave us.

This one really hit me hard. He was one of my favorites and one of the reasons I got into keyboards. :cry:
And there was this one time at band camp......
