This is very sad.

Rick always impressed as a real gent and first class musician.

I remember buying Wet Dream when it came out and bathing in those lovely keyboard sounds.

Sincere condolences to his family and friends

Saddened by the news of another of your youth`s heroes passing away. He always seemed so level and such a consumate musician. RIP. :(

A horrible shame, I didn`t even know he`d been ill. Will be spinning a few Floyd albums tonight.

RIP

Shocking news, I`m glad I saw him live with Pink Floyd back in the 80s, he and the band were excellent live.

Fantastic band live :D Seen them at Earls Court and their performance at Live 8 must have won them some new younger fans.

His three children can be very proud of his musical achievements.

Only just copied my Floyd cds back onto the ipod on Sunday morning. Will give them a blast tonight in his memory. Echoes from Meddle is a fine moment (a long moment) 8)


R.I.P. Rick.
