Reply #9: Who would have thought that Syd Barrett would still [View All]

[ArnoldLayne]

be alive and doing fairly well and still living in Cambridge England in his own house and able to take care of himself pretty much. He lives close to his sister and brother-in-law who I hear look in on him on occasion to make sure he's doing alright. They make sure he is taking his medication he has severe diabetes beside his mental problems. He just turned 59 years old January 6 and still likes to paint pictures alot and listen to classical music. He never listens to Pink Floyd and his songs he wrote and performed when he was with Pink Floyd. They say he becomes deeply depressed the few times he tried to listen to his old music still aware of what he could have had and lost out on because of what the huge amounts of LSD he took and the what permanent damage it did to his brain. So sad, but I hope he still can "Shine On" one day again. :crazy: :crazy::hippie:
