Richard Wright, a founder member of Pink Floyd, died today at the age of 65 after battling cancer.
Wright played the keyboard with the legendary band and wrote music in classic albums like the Dark Side Of The Moon and Wish You Were Here.
His spokesman said: 'The family of Richard Wright, founder member of Pink Floyd, announce with great sadness, that Richard died today after a short struggle with cancer.
The self-taught keyboardist and pianist met fellow band members Roger Waters and Nick Mason while at architecture school.
He was a founder member of The Pink Floyd Sound in 1965, and the group's previous incarnations, such as Sigma 6.
In the early days of Pink Floyd, Wright, along with Syd Barrett, was seen as the group's dominant musical force.
The London-born musician and son of a biochemist wrote and sang several songs of his own.
The Great Gig In The Sky, and Us And Them, both from 1973's seminal Dark Side Of The Moon album, were his most well-known compositions.
R.I.P Rick Wright. Another Legend off to The Great Gig In The Sky. Shine On! My thoughts go out to all his family, friends and loyall fans! xxx
MY SHINING STAR
I look out of my window tonight
And look at the stars twinkling bright
The moon is full and the sky is clear
And I start to shed a silent tear.
But there is one bright star up above
that seems to say "It's me, my love."
"I'm watching you as you're watching me
and twinkling brightly for you to see."
My tears stop falling as I hear you call
"It's me, my love, I am watching you all."
"I am here right now and every night,
You are never ever out of my sight."
"So please keep looking at that bright star,
It's always me wherever you are."
"And when you finally go to sleep
remember me and do not weep."

"And I am not frightened of dying, any time will do, I
don't mind. Why should I be frightened of dying?
There's no reason for it, you've gotta go sometime."
"I never said I was frightened of dying."
