millwall32 114 Posted August 5, 2007 You don't really know who will be next because none of them are known to be in ill health. I saw Ric Wright in Gloucester Raod Sainsbury's the other day. He looked good and was in the organic food aisle. I think Gilmour will be next to go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,646 Posted September 15, 2008 Rick Wright link. So Pink Floyd should also be mentioned on our Great Gigs in the Sky thread as one outfit who have played their last show. If they ever did re-form there is no way they could be a definitive line up any more. Obvious point really, but the track that gives the Great Gigs thread its name is also - arguably - Rick Wright's finest recorded performance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well you can't say he wasn't prepared for it.... I wonder what they'll play at his funeral? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jane March Posted September 15, 2008 I see Rick Wright was from Pinner in Middlesex, a place with a population of less than twenty thousand, which has produced a remarkable array of talent. Who will be the next person from Pinner to die? Patrick Moore Elton John Michael Rosen Simon Le Bon Bob Holness Tony Hatch Derek Bell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
