For all you Floyd fans it was announced a few hours back that Roger Barret passed away on Friday. Most likely due to complications from diabetes. Strange that this announcement comes the day that the new PF DVD gets released.
For those unfamiliar, Syd was one of the original founders, singers and guitar players from PF. He left the band only after a few albums to record two solo albums. After which he suffered from severe breakdown and has suffered from depression for the last 30+ years. His breakdown it was speculated was from his overuse of LSD during the 60's. News is still coming in but it seems that the other members were informed sometime over the weekend or even on Friday, the day of his death.
Shine on you Crazy Diamond
We say goodbye to another rock legend.
