Hardly Iacon related, but I'd like to think someone trawling the net might look, or even a native might think about it.

Yesterday Rick Wright, the talented Synthesist or Pink Floyd, passed away after battling cancer. And yet, on a news program boasting of Take That reunions and X-Factor winners, the demise of a man respected by millions worldwide apparently means nothing. Well, I'll be buggered if Iacon doesn't at least offer a meager news thread about him, even if nobody ever reads it. I'm not prone to getting upset over stuff like this, but for all the work and creativity he did, Rick at least deserves a 30-second feture on ITV.

So heres to Rick, wherever he is. Shine on.

It was on the news a little bit, trouble is the media is only really interested when a lead singer dies...

No Loz lol, trouble is nowadays' media is only concerned with what's brand new. Anything a year old and it's gone from their memory.

Kind of weird how Syd Barrett, who had been a recluse for almost 40 years, was on quite a bit, with loads of Floyd interviews and stuff, but Rick Wright, who actually did things...

Oh well. Let's hope next time someone dies who deserves to, not an African 3 year old or someone with actual talent...

Phil Collins, you really should fear the reaper....
