This has been all over the music boards I'm on. It's sad. He was a truly amazing musician, and so underrated. The glue that held Pink Floyd together, IMO.
It's worth noting that during Nessa's first tour, her intro music, "The Great Gig In The Sky" was written by Richard Wright, and that was him playing on the Floyd track. It ended on the B minor that VC used to segue into "C'est La Vie".
Too many great people are leaving us.....
