Backbiter Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 bbc That's sad - didn't know he'd been ill. I thought you meant the ex- Ipswich and Everton keeper at first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loz Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Very sad - I knew he was ill and that they were keeping it fairly quiet so wasn't suer about the severity of it. Always came across as a genuinely nice bloke and a very talented man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim W Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Apparently he was working on another solo project, let's hope it sees the light of day because Broken China was a fine piece of work. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loz Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Just spent some time watching footage of Richard Wright playing with David Gilmour relatively recently and it was only then that it really sank in that he has died. Stupid really as it isn't as if we were next door neighbours and drinking buddies but I, all of a sudden, felt a genuine sense of loss. Not really that surprising I suppose, he was, after all, an integral part of a band that I consider to be the greatest band in music history. Maybe a little corny, and somewhat predictable but all I can say is Richard Wright I wish you were here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loz Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Cheers for posting that Mod - 'Comfortably Numb' is a timeless masterpiece. Never mind the thread about pop songs that always makes you smile - that is a song that always makes me feel a tad humble as for me it borders on genius.
