Yes very sad news, another 60's icon has gone to the great gig in the sky.I recently read the Floyd Biog by Nick Mason and it seems tragic that such a talent was wasted by too much drug experimentation in an all to brief career.

Whilst i agree to a point, I'm not sure that in Syd's situation the term drug "experimentation" can be used. It is my belief that Syd's drug use was a reaction to a fragile mind not being able to cope with the increasing commitments (such as they were) of being in a touring band. But whatever, I just hope that he managed to find the peace and solace he so desired in his life.

Shine on Syd.
