Redigerer Richard Wright (musiker) (avsnitt)

== Sykdom og bortgang ==
Richard Wright ble diagnostisert med kreft og døde kort tid etter i hjemmet sitt i Storbritannia den 15. september 2008. I tiden før han døde jobbet Wright med et nytt soloalbum som skulle omfatte en rekke instrumentelle musikkomposisjoner. 

Etter hans død siterte hans langvarige venn David Gilmour følgende: «In my view, all the greatest Pink Floyd moments are the ones where he is in full flow. No-one can replace Richard Wright – he was my musical partner and my friend.» Han la i tillegg til: «In the welter of arguments about who or what was Pink Floyd, Rick's enormous input was frequently forgotten. He was gentle, unassuming and private but his soulful voice and playing were vital, magical components of our most recognised Pink Floyd sound. Like Rick, I don't find it easy to express my feelings in words, but I loved him and will miss him enormously. I have never played with anyone quite like him.»{{tr}}
