music radio : SYD BARRET OF PINK FLOYD HAS DIED. WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS? [+] ballot by Grapost created Sun Jul 23, 06 Syd Barrett, the former lead singer of Pink Floyd and one of the key figures of the 60s, has died at the Cambridgeshire home to which he retreated as a recluse more than 30 years ago. The Guardian has learned that the singer, 60, who suffered from a psychedelic-drug induced breakdown while at the peak of his career, died last Friday from cancer. His brother Alan confirmed his death, saying only: "He died peacefully at home. There will be a private family funeral in the next few days." Dave Gilmour, the Pink Floyd guitarist drafted in to the band during a period in which Barrett was behaving erratically, said in an interview earlier this year that he thought that Barrett's breakdown would have happened anyway. He said: "It was a deep-rooted thing. But I'll say the psychedelic experience might well have acted as a catalyst. Still, I just don't think he could deal with the vision of success and all the things that went with it."
