His short but colourful career was one which helped the development of rock music in the 1960's and took it to a new level which many bands and rock artists were later to emulate.


Roger Keith "Syd" Barrett (January 6, 1946July 7, 2006) was an English singer, songwriter, guitarist and artist.

Best remembered as one of the founding members of the group Pink Floyd, Barrett was active as a rock musician for only a few years, before he went into seclusion. His creative legacy and quintessentially English vocal delivery have since proven remarkably influential.
