LONDON - It 'dead at 65 Richard Wright, a founder - along with Roger Waters, Syd Barrett and Nick Mason of Pink Floyd of the historical group. The death of the keyboardist, who had cancer, was anuncio family. Wright had met with Waters, Mason and Barrett, who left the group after about two years and died in 2006 at college in Cambridge, where they were all students. First founded another group called Sigma 6, then become Pink Floyd.
HIS SIGNATURE - Wright is the author of songs such as The Great Gig In The Sky and Us And Them, and On the Run in the 1973 album The Dark Side Of The Moon, who entered the history of rock. He left the band in the early '80s to devote himself to a soloist, and then returned the group to participate in the new album A Momentary Lapse of Reason, after the painful separation, in 1985, between Roger Waters and the rest of group, led by David Gilmour, the virtuoso guitarist Syd Barrett took over in 1968. Wright also made a major contribution to the birth of the last great album by Pink Floyd, The Division Bell.
FATHERS Psychedelic music - Pink Floyd, engaged in an initial period of continuous research and experimentation with psychedelic electronics, developed in the album The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, released in 1967, reached after the worldwide success with songs like Wish You Were Here and Money, and concept albums like The Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall.
ARCHITECT FAILURE - Richard Wright's fight against the disease was 'short', as the family announced. Born into a wealthy family in the area of \u200b\u200bHatch End in London, Wright attended as a student the London College of Music, where he has his first contact with music. But abandons the piano lessons after just two weeks to register the faculty of architecture at Regent Street Polytechnic. There he met Roger Waters and Nick Mason, but he soon abandoned his studies to pursue his passion for music. In 1965 the three, along with Syd Barrett founded Pink Floyd. After the departure of Syd Barrett, Wright became the composer's melodic group. The similarity of his voice with the guitarist who replaced Barrett, David Gilmour, is used to create sound effects in some of the songs entered in the history of music.
THE EXILE - Wright, who has contributed in a decisive development dicelebri Pink Floyd songs, like A Saucerful of Secrets, Echoes and Shine On You Crazy Diamond, was effectively exiled by Waters during recording of the legendary double The Wall (now a movie under the direction of Alan Parker). To convince his father-master to the expulsion of the group had been Wright's personal problems, divorce, and probably an excessive use of cocaine (which is always denied by the applicant). Wright continued to play on tour in 1980 and 1981, but only as a salaried musician. The next album, The Final Cut (1983), is the only one that Rick Wright, now permanently excluded from the group, does not contribute. Despite this, he and drummer Nick Mason are the only members of the group to have played at every concert of Pink Floyd, The Final Cut is not the place that had no promotion tour.
THE RETURN - Wright was recalled from Gilmour to give a hand during the closing session of A Momentary Lapse of Reason (1987) to be reinstated as a full member of the group with the album Delicate Sound of Thunder (1988). Next album, Division Bell (1994), wrote five songs and sang Wearing the Inside Out, certifying his personal artistic rebirth. From an instrumental point of view of Pink Floyd Richard Wright have to build the 'wall of sound', on which stood out on his epic solo Gilmour. From
