Syd Barrett, member of the original lineup of Pink Floyd, passed away at his home in England earlier this week. Syd famously did a LOT of LSD and wigged out, and left the band. He's been a real recluse, and for the past couple years, had been living a peaceful life at his mom's, which is awesome considering the hell this poor guy went through. He was 60, and they didn't disclose the cause of his death, but it is known that he had suffered from diabetes for several years.
My sympathies go out to his family and to the current members of Pink Floyd, who had remained close to him.
