Pink Floyd's Barrett dies aged 60

Syd
Barrett,one of the original members of legendary rock group Pink
Floyd, has died at the age of 60 from complications arising from diabetes.
The guitarist was the band's first creative force and an influential
songwriter, penning their early hits.
He joined Pink Floyd in 1965
but left three years later after one album. He went on to live as a
recluse, with his mental deterioration blamed on drugs.
"He died very peacefully a
couple of days ago," the band's spokeswoman said.
