Longtime Pink Floyd saxophonist Richard “Dick” Parry has passed away at 83. During his career, he appeared as a session musician with Pink Floyd on the songs “Money”, “Us and Them”, “Shine On You Crazy Diamond” and “Wearing the Inside Out”.
A message from David Gilmour reads: “My dear friend Dick Parry died this morning. Since I was seventeen, I have played in bands with Dick on saxophone, including Pink Floyd. His feel and tone make his saxophone playing unmistakable, a signature of enormous beauty that is known to millions and is such a big part of songs such as ‘Shine On You Crazy Diamond’, ‘Wish You Were Here’, ‘Us and Them’ and ‘Money’. He played in the last band I had that included Rick Wright for the On An Island Tour and at Live 8 with Pink Floyd. Here are some pictures of him, including one of him and me playing for the ABC Minors at the Victoria Cinema in Cambridge in 1963.”
