Richard Wright, Pink Floyd's Keyboardist, died at the age of 65

Richard Wright,one of the founding members of Pink Floyd died yesterday after a battle with cancer. He was the keyboard player of the band "6 Sigma" with Roger Waters and Nick Mason which eventually became Pink Floyd. As an experimental instrumentalist, he played keyboards, synthsizer and organ. His most amazing works appeared in early Pink Floyd albums when Pink Floyd members were equally sharing their ideas. After "The Wall" album he left the band and rejoined it later with David Gilmour. He was a contributor vocalist of Pink Floyd over years too. His special voice brought a more psychedelic feeling to many songs including "Us and them", "Comfortably numb" and "Wearing the inside out".
We lost a legendary musician yesterday who affected many people in this world. Condolences to his fans and the global musicians community.
Here is the song "Comfortably Numb" sang by Richard Wright and David Gilmour in Gilmour's concert two years ago:


A tribute to Richard Wright on Youtube.com with the song "Wish you were here":



And my favorite song by Richard Wright/David Gilmour in the last Pink Floyd's album, " Wearing the Inside Out" which, I think, reflects his introverted personality:
