Rest in peace, Syd

Syd Barrett, one of the original Pink Floyd members and one of the prime movers in the creation of the phenomenon that is the band, is no more.

Syd's contributions to the world of music, both in artistic quality as well as building the mystique of the band, will always be remembered. He is also a stellar example of what NOT to do, ruining a great career with his drug habits.

The band paid tribute to him by coming out with the now legendary anthems "Shine on you crazy diamond" and "Wish you were here"

Syd, we will miss you. Your legacy lives on.
