The Guardian is reporting the death of Syd Barrett at age 60 from complications related to diabetes.

Come on you raver, you seer of visions,

I just saw the news online: A truly sad day for me. I've never been shy about my love for Pink Floyd and Syd was there from the beginning. Rest in peace, and shine on.

Syd continues to be on permanent Interstellar Overdrive at the Gates of Dawn. R.I.P.

"Apples and Oranges" was maybe my favorite Syd song. "Which one's Pink?" they asked. Syd was the man. RIP

Dont mind. why should I be frightened of dying?
Theres no reason for it, youve gotta go sometime."
