Rick's Last Gig- Article link

Post by Jimi Dean Barrett »

Rather nice article about Rick's last ever public performance.
Very sad to read. Very disappointed Glastonbury owner getting "accused". In fact seems an entirely different point from the original article!
But if you haven't read it already.

The timeline is not really accurate. "Island Jam" had been released in 2006 and Rick was not on it. I'm pretty sure that he was diagnosed, treated, and in remission prior to the tour, as Gilmour said it "came back with a vengeance."

I think it was the French audiences who shouted "Ree-shard", just the way they pronounce that name (with a long first syllable and the stress on the second), and the other band members then called him like that.
