| Syd's left a will!! Syd Barrett leaves £1.7m in will Pink Floyd legend fortune surprises fans Pink Floyd's Syd Barrett has left nearly £1.7m in his will. Many believed the songwriter, who died last year, was poor because of the modest, reclusive lifestyle he led in Cambridge after quitting the band in 1968. However Barrett left his brother Alan £425,000 and his other siblings, Rosemary Breen, Ruth Brown and Donald Barrett £275,000 each, according to documents that were made public this week. Breen who cared for the singer towards the end of his life, also received the proceeds from the sale of his Cambridge house, £310,000, and the £119,000 made from auctioning his possessions. The recently revealed legal papers also indicated that Barrett's mental state had declined in recent years requiring his brother Alan authorised the will under the Mental Health Act, the Daily Mail reports. Barrett was a founding member and main songwriter of Pink Floyd before he left the band, he then released two solo album's in 1970. However he suffered psychological problems believed to be trigged by experimentation with LSD and eventually retreated from public view, living the rest of his life in Cambridge. He died last year aged 60 from complications arising from diabetes.

| Re: Syd's left a will!! Well how else could you listen to Syd? It's not like he made profound statements about the truth about life or anything. He sang about sitting on dandelions, and gnomes, and all sorts of ridiculous things. It's fun to listen to Syd's work when you're on drugs.

| Re: Syd's left a will!! Let the poor man rest in peace he doesn't owe you or anyone an explanation on his life or death. I'm just glad I am still able to enjoy his music.

| Re: Syd's left a will!! I only spoke of Syd's music. I'm not asking for any explanation of him or his life. I've got the CD. It's got the lyrics in the jacket. I know what it's about.

| Re: Syd's left a will!! OK I'd really like to know what Mark Dwyer means and why everyone keeps agreeing with him. Who is asking for an explanation of Syd's life or death?
