It saddens me to announce that former Pink Floyd frontman
Syd Barrett has died at the age of 60 due to complications from diabetes. He was one of the most enigmatic characters ever in music, and will be badly missed by the legions of bands he influenced. Pink Floyd's debut album, mostly written by Syd,
Piper At The Gates of Dawn is arguably their best, while his solo albums
The Madcap Laughs and
Barrett contain moments of inspired genius, such as Rats and No Good Trying.
Shine On You Crazy Diamond......... Labels: Syd Barrett
