Richard Wright, a founder member of Pink Floyd has died from cancer at the age of 65. He wrote songs on some of their classic albums such as ‘Wish You Were Here’ and ‘Dark Side Of The Moon’.
He appeared on the bands first album ‘The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn’ in 1967.
He was forced to resign from Pink Floyd during the 1980’s ‘The Wall’ sessions, due to ever mounting disagreements with Roger Waters.
On July 2, 2005, Wright, Gilmour, Mason were joined by Waters on stage for the first time since the Wall concerts for a short set at the Live 8 concert in London.
Wright is survived by his third wife Millie (to whom he dedicated his second solo album Broken China).
