Pink Floyd - Syd


Expert: Ed McKenna - 5/21/2009

Question
I heard that Syd came back to the pink floyd studio after he was kicked out and made a song with the electronical components and than left with out telling anybody and they never say him again.  What do you think

Answer
David,

In 1975 Syd Barrett did show up unannounced at the Pink Floyd "Shine On" sessions. According to all of the band members Syd was almost unrecognizable. He had a shaved head and had put on a considerable amount of weight. On the VH1 show "The Pink Floyd Story: Which One's Pink? " Rick Wright explained that Syd was in the control room jumping up and down brushing his teeth.

Roger Waters did attempt contact but decided it best (likewise with the rest of the band) to leave Roger "Syd" Barrett alone. Financially from what I've read he was taken care of. For Roger Waters Syd was the muse for Pink Floyd. So I wouldn't say that they forgot about him.

David, if you have any more questions, please feel free to ask. Don't forget to rate my response to you.
