Very unexpected... this is truly a sad day. The music world has lost someone great
Strangers passing in the street by chance two separate glances meet and I am you and what I see is me. And do I take you by the hand and lead you through the land and help me understand the best I can

Rest in Peace!

Excellent idea. Rick's piano solos were understated but unforgettable. Just think of the things he does on tracks like "San Tropez" or "Us and Them": subtle but highly refined. Thanks for all the magnificent music, Rick!

I just heard, I've been away from my PC most of the day.

I'm shocked and saddened, and utterly speechless.

I'm definitely listening to some Wright music, plus a few Floyd tracks with very special music played by him (some already mentioned here) tomorrow, in his honor.

Gutted. My sympathy to his family. He may not have been a 'front man' but his importance and talent was never overlooked by Floyd fans. RIP
