    Shocked. :(

    One of the most self effacing chaps in music, no idea he was ill. The various Floyds have always been private people.

    RIP

    edit - reunion? Jebus let the man go cold.

    Mike.

    05:05 till 06:45 shows Richard's remarkable talent and how essential he was to the Floyd (Set the Controls)

    The tribute was pretty much out of the question as far as I know but this is devastating.

    A legend is lost.

    RIP.

    Very sad news indeed, Pink Floyd music was one of the soundtracks to my adolescence. Rick was a great musician who will be sorely missed.

    A sad day.

    God thats dissapointing, I hadn't known he was ill. Saw them in concert in Mannheim, Germany in the 80's, an awesome gig.

    Is that a joke? Tey're never going to get back together now, Richard's dead!

    Wonderful musician, always came across as the quiet, contemplative intelligent soul of the band; a favourite of mine is Shine On you crazy Diamond, which Roger now admits was largely composed by Richard.

    A man to be celabrated.
    RIP

    Gone too soon, and a sad day for one of my favourite bands, didnt even know he was ill.....
    I wonder what are Roger Waters feelings, seeing as they had a huge falling out and didnt speak for years...although I would like to think they became friends again after Live8...still, not the time to worry about that, RIP indeed.

    R.I.P., Richard.

    A surprisingly integral and demure member of a band who has brought me many, many hours of pleasure over the years.
