Mines definitely from the Daily Mail Keith and the only thing I can think is that the southern edition where Stu lives has a different version of the story than ours oop north.

Stay on topic!

Okay, there are some scans in now from the British Press thanks to myself, Rob Morgan and Stu Avis. Take a look.

If anyone else has any more from around the world, then please do get in touch and send them for inclusion in the gallery.

Soz Keith, don't worry about us - well, me! Thanks for putting this together, much appreciated.

Trust the Daily Star to mention the Nurofen advert, in an already brief report! Pah!!!

I know. It is scum that paper. Its a wonder they didnt fabricate a drugs, sex and rock 'n' roll about Rick!

I find the Guardian Obituary best up to now....

At least they made an effort. He deserved far more in my opinion. Did enjoy his 'quote' about the ones doing drugs were the ones who came to the shows.

Yes, I found that comment amusing!! Good old Rick!

that Guardian obit says Rick sang lead on some of the Piper songs
I never knew that

Well the general media often gets it wrong, but I suppose technically he probably sang dual lead vocals, if you like, with Syd...

Yep, mines deffo from the Mail too, the only thing that makes sense is Robs rationalisation, which is just too weird a thought to even contemplate!!!

. Funnily enough I was surprised to see youd found a piece in the Express Keith as there wasnt anything in the one in my local newsagent so it must be a south of the Watford gap thing ???

I do not have a scanner, but am more than happy to forward any news clippings to you the old fashioned way if there is anything in them. I will let you know in due course (slipping out to buy ciggies and the papers.)

The rest of them will probably be gone by then!
