Oh no! That is far too young. Rest in peace Richard. :(

Thanks for the amazing music. You will be sadly missed.

OH NO.

Horrible news. :(

Our childhood hero's are dying one by one.

My sympathies go out to his family.

On a purely selfish note, I wish the remaining members would patch up their differences and make some music. :(

Heartbreaking news. Pink Floyd is one of, if not the greatest musical influence in my life. He was far too young.

R.I.P Richard. You will be missed, but never forgotten.
