Sad news indeed. Odd but I wondered what had happened to him just a few days ago. He disappeared from the music scene many years ago.

On the threshold of stardom, members of the psychedelic rock band Pink Floyd leap from the steps of EMI House in London in this March 3, 1967 file photo. From left: Roger Waters, Nick Mason, Syd Barrett and Richard Wright. (AP Photo)

He has been a reculse for years, Brian. The band had always seen to it that he received all monies due to him and he lived a quiet life in England.
Very sad news. I am a huge fan of the early Floyd stuff.

My gramma woke me up with this news today.. when I told my dad (big Floyd fan) he snapped out of bed...Posted: Tue Jul 11, 2006 6:38 am
That photo of Floyd apes almost exactly a picture of the Beatles on the same steps four years earlier.

Keefy is a classic case of the walking dead.

I hear Keefy has landed the part of Jack Sparrow's father in the next "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie.
Perhaps a better part might be one of those horrible skeletal pirates...........

Pfft, it's not Keef.. Ozzy is a vibrating mumbling machine. Keef can still walk and talk. He may be old, but Ozzy is beat.

Don't forget that Keef fell out of a coconut tree recently and 'it 'is 'ead, Nate. Who knows what damage that has done!
BTW.... I've asked you before - what hat size are you? If that's a bit hard, ask somebody to run a measuring tape around your noggin, eh?
September isn't all that far away, you know!
