Another one fades away...

They were a great band and I feel the same way Les.

Overrated. Wasn't he only on their 1967 album The Piper at the Gates of Dawn? Certainly a good album, but nothing like their later stuff like Meddle, Animals, or The Wall.

He was one of the original founding members, that says eneogh....

Very sad, I've stuck some Floyd on the decks out of respect.

 

[Nonskimmer]

Damn shame.

 

[Matt308]

Wish You Were Here was written for him. Excellent album.

 

[Clave]

Yeah, the passing of another age...

 

[Henk]

That sucks. RIP Another Brick in the Wall is a great song and I like Pink Floyd very much, learned it from my mom.

I've had diabetes since 1968. I have to wonder how long he's had it.
