Although there has been no official release by the band or his relatives about the date of his passing away it appears to be Roger Keith "Syd" Barrett, founder of Pink Floyd, has died because of a diabetes-related illness on July 7th 2006. Syd Barrett has been out of public life for a long time but has been in the hearts and minds of many Pink Floyd fans all over the world, not to forget the other band members of Pink Floyd, including of course Roger Waters. They have dedicated one of their all time classics to their friend. With a small quote from this masterpiece called 'Shine on you Crazy Diamond' we'd like to remember this remarkable man who was at the cradle of symphonic music.
"Nobody knows where you are, how near or how far.
Shine on you crazy diamond."
Shine on you crazy diamond."
