Rick Wright, founding member of Pink Floyd, passes away

According to the official website of David Gilmour, guitarist and vocalist of Pink Floyd, the band’s founding member, Rick Wright, passed away today after a brief bout with cancer.

Although Wright, a keyboardist, was probably the least known member of the prolific psychedelic rock band, he still contributed a significant amount of material to the group, including credits on songs from “Dark Side of the Moon” and “Wish You Were Here.”
