It's a true story. Dead from complications due to diabetes.

Farewell, Syd.

Now I know why they write obituaries years in advance. Cheers, Syd, I don't know what else to say.

Gerald, I'm sure that he's awfully obliged to you for making it clear that he's not here.

Cheers Syd.

No way.

Man, that is, it's horrible. I'm in shock right now.

We'll miss you Syd.

Syd, the world may have grown a little darker, a little dimmer at your passing, but the brilliant light of your music shines on. I'll be piping 'til the gates of dawn in your memory tonight.

Rest In Peace

Re: Syd Barrett dead, age 60.

Please, please lift a hand
I'm only a person
Whose armbands beat on his hands hang tall
Won't you miss me?
Wouldn't you miss me at all?

Re: Syd Barrett dead, age 60.

Alone in the clouds all blue
Lying on an eiderdown.
Yippee! You can't see me
But I can you.

Lazing in the foggy dew
Sitting on a unicorn.
No fair, you can't hear me
But I can you.

Watching buttercups cup the light
Sleeping on a dandelion.
Too much, I won't touch you
But then I might.

Screaming through the starlit sky
Travelling by telephone.
Hey ho, here we go
Ever so high.

Alone in the clouds all blue
Lying on an eiderdown.
Yippee! You can't see me
But I can you.
