    I'm not a Pink Floyd fan, but fans around the world must be saddened to hear about his demise. May he rest in peace.

    Wow, that's too bad. Wasn't "The Wall" based on him, and his sort of "breakdown"?

    I think so, I know that the "Wish You Were Here" album was written about him.

    RIP Syd. Shine On You Crazy Diamond.

    Thank's Tinkerbell this was one of my best friends favorite bands- ;) no matter when we were together- he always managed to put on their music- ;) I wasn't the big fan he was-but do have "The Wall" now he's passed away as well- :( so maybe they can hang out together wherever they are- he always laughed at me cause I'd say "you can't dance to their music" and he's go "no, you can't"- :lol: RIP "another brick in the wall"

    *Sad* Man. That's so depressing. First, he goes into seclusion. Next, Pink Floyd breaks up, vowing never to get back together. And now, the one that kept them together before he got into drugs, Syd Barret has passed away. He'll be missed :(
