Syd Barrett died at 60 of complications from diabetes.

You got me by 1 minute, I'll remove mine.

SHINE ON!!!

Rog' dedicated the Live Aid 2 show to him.

It'd be nice if they could put it aside and tour one last time and just do DSOTM one last time for the world. All the messages there stand the test of time.

I was listening to The Wall when I read the news.  Immediately switched to Wish You Were Here.

It would be interesting if we could somehow know how Pink Floyd would have evolved if Syd had remained stable and with the band.

Trippy first album with Syd


Hey Syd, if you see John Lennon, tell him Raymond says HI!:cool:

I've never been able to put thoughts into words as well as Syd's best friend (RW), but of course few (if any) can. So I'll use his appropriate words.

Nobody knows where you are, how near or how far.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Pile on many more layers and I'll be joining you there.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
And we'll bask in the shadow of yesterday's triumph,
sail on the steel breeze.
Come on you boy child, you winner and loser,
come on you miner for truth and delusion, and shine
