I thought this was a joke until I read it in a newspaper today. (I thought I read a flippant jokey small thread about this on here, I read the first post, got annoyed and logged off - unless I imagined it!).
VERY sad news. I hope he was happy at some point in his life. What a man! I was only having a dicussion with someone the other week on the merits of Syd - the discussion was with a post-Barratt Floyd fan - with me being the former.
Ian, heartfelt condolences to you and your family.
