Pink Floyd Band Members
Roger Keith “Syd” Barrett (Guitar and vocals)
Founding member who wrote most of The Piper at the Gates of Dawn and the perfect pop song See Emily Play
Syd Barrett (born Roger Keith Barrett on January 6, 1946, in Cambridge, England) was an English singer, guitarist, and songwriter who co-founded the rock band Pink Floyd in 1965. He was known for his whimsical style of psychedelia, English-accented singing, and stream-of-consciousness writing style. As a guitarist, he was influential for his free-form playing and for employing effects such as dissonance, distortion, echo, and feedback.
Barrett was the frontman and primary songwriter for Pink Floyd until his departure in 1968. As one of the Pink Floyd Band Members, he recorded the first four singles, their debut album The Piper at the Gates of Dawn (1967), portions of their second album A Saucerful of Secrets (1968), and several songs that were not released until years later. In April 1968, Barrett was ousted from the band amid speculation of mental illness and his use of psychedelic drugs.
He began a brief solo career in 1969 with the single “Octopus,” followed by albums The Madcap Laughs (1970) and Barrett (1970), recorded with the aid of members of Pink Floyd. In 1972, Barrett left the music industry, retired from public life, and guarded his privacy until his death. He continued painting and dedicated himself to gardening.
Pink Floyd recorded several tributes and homages to him, including the 1975 song suite “Shine On You Crazy Diamond” and parts of the 1979 rock opera The Wall. In 1988, EMI released an album of unreleased tracks and outtakes, Opel, with Barrett’s approval. In 1996, Barrett was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Pink Floyd. He died of pancreatic cancer on July 7, 2006.
Roger Waters (Bass and Vocals)
Founding member who wrote most of the larger concept albums in the 1970s
Roger Waters (born George Roger Waters on September 6, 1943, in Great Bookham, Surrey, England) is an English musician, singer-songwriter, and composer. He co-founded the rock band Pink Floyd in 1965 as the bassist. Following the departure of Syd Barrett in 1968, Waters became the band’s lyricist, co-lead vocalist, and conceptual leader.
Pink Floyd achieved international success with concept albums such as The Dark Side of the Moon (1973), Wish You Were Here (1975), Animals (1977), The Wall (1979), and The Final Cut (1983). By the early 1980s, they had become one of the most acclaimed and commercially successful groups in popular music. Amid creative differences, Waters left the band in 1985 and began a legal dispute over the use of the band’s name and material, which was settled out of court in 1987.
Waters’s solo work includes the studio albums The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking (1984), Radio K.A.O.S. (1987), Amused to Death (1992), and Is This the Life We Really Want? (2017). In 2005, he released Ça Ira, an opera about the French Revolution. In 1990, Waters staged one of the largest rock concerts in history, The Wall – Live in Berlin, with an attendance of 450,000.
As a member of Pink Floyd, Waters was inducted into the US Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996 and the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2005. He reunited with Pink Floyd for the Live 8 global awareness event in 2005, their only appearance with Waters since 1981. Waters has toured extensively as a solo act since 1999, performing The Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall Live.
Waters incorporates political themes in his work and is a prominent supporter of Palestine in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. He has called for the removal of the Israeli West Bank Barrier and supports the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement against Israel. Some of his comments and live shows have drawn accusations of antisemitism, which Waters dismissed as a conflation of anti-Semitism with anti-Zionism. Roger is the most divisive of the Pink Floyd Band Members.
Richard Wright (Keyboards and Vocals)
Founding member who brought exceptional depth of musicianship to the band
Richard Wright (born Richard William Wright on July 28, 1943, in Hatch End, Middlesex, England) was an English musician, composer, and songwriter, best known as the keyboardist and a founding member of the rock band Pink Floyd. Wright’s distinctive keyboard playing and contributions to the band’s sound were integral to their success.
Wright co-founded Pink Floyd in 1965 along with Syd Barrett, Roger Waters, and Nick Mason. He played a significant role in the creation of the band’s early psychedelic sound and later their progressive rock style. Wright’s keyboard work is prominently featured on classic albums such as The Dark Side of the Moon (1973), Wish You Were Here (1975), Animals (1977), and The Wall (1979).
In addition to his keyboard playing, Wright also contributed vocals and wrote several songs for the band. Some of his notable compositions include “The Great Gig in the Sky” and “Us and Them” from The Dark Side of the Moon. Wright’s musical style was characterized by his use of jazz and classical influences, as well as his ability to create atmospheric and emotive soundscapes.
Wright left Pink Floyd in 1979 during the recording of The Wall due to creative differences but returned to the band in 1987 for the album A Momentary Lapse of Reason and continued to perform with them until their final tour in 1994. He also released two solo albums, Wet Dream (1978) and Broken China (1996).
Richard Wright passed away on September 15, 2008, after a battle with cancer. His contributions to Pink Floyd’s music and his influence on the world of rock music continue to be celebrated by fans and musicians alike. Richard was the most musical of the Pink Floyd Band Members.
Nick Mason (Drummer)
Founding member whose drumming was unique, creative and created space for the other musicians
Nick Mason (born Nicholas Berkeley Mason on January 27, 1944, in Birmingham, England) is an English drummer, composer, and record producer. He is best known as a founding member of the progressive rock band Pink Floyd¹. Mason is the only member to have been part of the band continuously since its formation in 1965 and the only member to appear on every Pink Floyd album.
Mason’s drumming style and contributions to Pink Floyd’s sound were integral to the band’s success. He co-wrote several of the band’s compositions, including “Echoes,” “Time,” “Careful with That Axe, Eugene,” and “One of These Days”. His only solo album, Nick Mason’s Fictitious Sports, was released in 1981.
In addition to his music career, Mason is an avid car collector and racer. He has a collection of classic and race cars, including several Ferraris and a McLaren F1 GTR. Mason has also produced books and documentaries on the subject of cars and racing.
In 2018, Mason formed a new band, Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets, to perform music from Pink Floyd’s early years. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996 as a member of Pink Floyd. As one of the Pink Floyd Band Members Nick was instrumental in the bands groove.
David Gilmour (Lead Guitar, Vocals)
Joined in 1968 after Syd Barrett left the band, bringing world class guitar solos and emotive expression to the band
David Gilmour (born David Jon Gilmour on March 6, 1946, in Cambridge, England) is an English guitarist, singer, and songwriter, best known as a member of the rock band Pink Floyd. He joined Pink Floyd in 1967, shortly before the departure of the founder member Syd Barrett. Gilmour’s guitar playing, singing, and songwriting became major factors in Pink Floyd’s worldwide success.
Pink Floyd achieved international acclaim with albums such as The Dark Side of the Moon (1973), Wish You Were Here (1975), Animals (1977), and The Wall (1979). Following the departure of Roger Waters in 1985, Gilmour assumed control of the band and released three more studio albums with Pink Floyd. He has also released five solo studio albums: David Gilmour (1978), About Face (1984), On an Island (2006), Rattle That Lock (2015), and Luck and Strange (2024).
Gilmour has been recognized for his contributions to music with several awards and honors. He was made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in 2003 and received the award for Outstanding Contribution at the 2008 Q Awards. As a member of Pink Floyd, he was inducted into the US Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996 and the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2005.
In addition to his music career, Gilmour has been involved in various charitable projects related to issues such as animal rights, environmentalism, homelessness, poverty, and human rights. He has married twice and is the father of eight children. His wife, the novelist Polly Samson, has contributed lyrics to many of his songs. Probably the best known of the Pink Floyd Band Members because of this legendary status as a lead guitarist.
Radovan ‘Bob’ Klose (Guitars)
A short-lived member from the first incarnation of the band
Bob Klose (born Radovan Robert Garcia Klose in 1945 in Cambridge, England) is an English musician, photographer, and printmaker. He was the lead guitarist of the rock band The Tea Set, an early incarnation of Pink Floyd, from 1964 to July 1965. Although he recorded a few songs with the band, he left before their transformation into Pink Floyd.
Klose’s father was a refugee from Nazi Germany and a veteran of the Spanish Civil War, while his mother was an English Land Girl. Due to their poor financial situation, the family lived in a field tent on a farm where Klose’s father worked for a couple of years before moving to a small Cambridgeshire village. Klose attended school in Cambridge, where he met Syd Barrett and Roger Waters.
During his architectural studies, Klose started playing lead guitar in a band with Roger Waters, Richard Wright, Nick Mason, Clive Metcalfe, Keith Noble, and Juliette Gale¹. The band performed under various names, including “Sigma 6,” “The Meggadeaths,” “The Abdabs,” and “The Screaming Abdabs”. By the time they became “The Tea Set,” the lineup included Syd Barrett, Bob Klose, Roger Waters, Richard Wright, and Nick Mason.
Klose was more focused on his studies and was more interested in jazz and blues than Barrett’s psychedelia and pop, so he left the band around July 1965. After leaving Pink Floyd, Klose pursued a career as a professional photographer and became known for his portraits of musicians and artists.
