Shocking news, I had just heard about it at work before I was leaving. He will be missed, and I'm sad that I won't be able to see what could have been an amazing reunion tour. He was one of the founding members of one of the most important bands ever.

Man thats nuts, I was just listening to these Hammond B3 swells Richard did on Breathe to accent Gilmour's vocals and was thinking "man, that dudes a bad mother fucker!" Terribly saddening to hear his passing.

'No one can replace Richard Wright. He was my musical partner and my friend. In the welter of arguments about who or what was Pink Floyd, Rick's enormous input was frequently forgotten. He was gentle, unassuming and private but his soulful voice and playing were vital, magical components of our most recognised Pink Floyd sound. I have never played with anyone quite like him. The blend of his and my voices and our musical telepathy reached their first major flowering in 1971 on 'Echoes'. In my view all the greatest PF moments are the ones where he is in full flow. After all, without 'Us and Them' and 'The Great Gig In The Sky', both of which he wrote, what would 'The Dark Side Of The Moon' have been? Without his quiet touch the Album 'Wish You Were Here' would not quite have worked. In our middle years, for many reasons he lost his way for a while, but in the early Nineties, with 'The Division Bell', his vitality, spark and humour returned to him and then the audience reaction to his appearances on my tour in 2006 was hugely uplifting and it's a mark of his modesty that those standing ovations came as a huge surprise to him, (though not to the rest of us). Like Rick, I don't find it easy to express my feelings in words, but I loved him and will miss him enormously.' David Gilmour Monday 15th September 2008 I still can't believe he has gone, such a shame, i really feel like part of my childhood has disappeared, i grew up from my early teens to the present day listening to Pink Floyd, not more than a few days goes by without me listening to one of their albums. Shine on Richard... <img src=\"http://www.davidgilmour.com/galleries/gallery25/3.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />
