Pink Floyd keyboard player Richard Wright passed away earlier this week after a short battle with cancer. One of his final interviews has surfaced online courtesy of The Times:

In the summer of 2007 I went to Wright’s modest mews house in Kensington, at the time of the 40th anniversary of Floyd’s first album, Piper at the Gates of Dawn, for what turned out to be Wright’s last interview. A slight figure, he had been grey for years so seemed not to have aged much beyond a few more lines on his face. As I arrived he was playing the album to himself, as if even he couldn’t quite believe that those were his keyboards bringing a jazz sensibility to Britain’s most avant-garde new scenesters of the day.
