Remembrance of Richard Wright – Three Years On

Richard Wright passed away three years ago today after a short struggle with cancer. Our thoughts must be with his friends and family. He was a founding member of Pink Floyd and brought to the table excellent musicianship and discipline and helped to define the Pink Floyd Sound throughout his career as a musician. He was also an excellent vocalist and took a lead part of many occasions in the songs of Pink Floyd. It is with sadness that his death is remembered but with thankfulness for the music he helped create. Here are some Richard Wright Photos
