An understated legend.  His ability to play for the song / band and not get wound up in an ego was an oft overlooked quality.  End of an era - and very sad.

Very sad news indeed.

I know a guy who knows David Gilmour pretty well.   I mentioned this news to him today, and he said Rick had been ill for some time but they'd decided to keep it quiet, reasonably enough.
