Pink Floyd keyboard player and founding member Richard Wright died on Monday after a short battle with cancer, his spokesman said. He was 65.

Wright, singer, songwriter and guitarist Syd Barrett, guitarist Roger Waters and drummer Nick Mason founded the band that became Pink Floyd in the 1960s when they were students. Pink Floyd went on to become one of the biggest names in rock.

“The family of Richard Wright, founder member of Pink Floyd, announce with great sadness, that Richard died today after a short struggle with cancer,” his spokesman said in a statement.

“The family have asked that their privacy is respected at this difficult time.”

God-motherfucking-dammit, there goes any chance I had of seeing one of the greatest rock bands to ever exist. Coincidentally, I’m listening to The Wall’s “Nobody’s Home” right now. Fuck you death. Fuck you right in the anus.
