I've just learned Syd Barrett, Pink Floyds original singer/guitarist has died. This man was my hero and I'd be grateful if anyone else here that shares my love of Pink Floyd and Syd could pray for him, or even if you don't believe in God do something else to commemorate him.

RIP Syd
A statement issued on behalf of Pink Floyd said: "The band is naturally very upset and sad to learn of Syd Barrett's death. Syd was the guiding light of the early band line-up and leaves a legacy which continues to inspire."
"Shine on You Crazy Diamond"

Yes I just heard of this. Very sad to hear this. Certainly he was a true musician and a great artist indeed. Rest in Peace Syd.

i am at a loss for words. this is the first i am hearing of his passing. i will probably listen to "the piper at the gates of dawn" tonight to remember syd then "dark side of the moon" to let my mind drift away.
What exactly is a dream and what exactly is a joke?
Rest In Peace Syd.
Finally.

I am kind of, I mean I like them but Mr. Evil is a fan so I'll have to let him know. We might have to have a Pink Floyd day, I think.
