- Syd Barrat, Origioinal guitarist for Pink floyd is the person in question
- here, he is in fact staying with his mother. Not very functional. drinks
- tea. during rehearsals for the animals LP in 1977 or so he pitched up at
- the studios and announced that he was ready to rejoin Pink Floyd. they
- wrote the song "Shine on crazy diamond" for him. Some of his last
- appearances were on top of the pops doing See EMily Play, By the third week
- he was still wearing the same outfit now very creased etc and played one
- chord throughout the song. No doubt the beginning of the end.
-
- Another interesting casualty is Peter Green, guitarist of the original
- blues FLEETWOOD MAC, He now grows his nails.
- Gos is alive and well and lives in a sugar cube.
