Pink Floyd keyboardist Richard Wright is dead at 65 of cancer. Wright was a founding member of the group, and remained with them all the way up to the tumultuous Wall sessions at which point he was kicked out by Roger Waters (he was re-hired to play on tour in support of that album). He officially re-joined bandmates David Gilmour and Nick Mason to participate in those two latter-day, lesser post-Rogers Floyd albums A Momentary Lapse of Reason and The Division Bell, and he was on-stage when the band reformed for one night to play at Live 8. David Gilmour has since made it clear that he has no intention of ever getting on-board for a full-blown Floyd reunion, and now that full-blown reunion can never happen because Wright is dead. Of course, a real, true, honest full-blown Floyd reunion has been impossible ever since Syd Barrett left the earth. Not that Syd would've known what the hell was going on anyway.
