How did they cope with the traumatic loss of their visionary songwriter, Syd Barrett? Why did they break out from the cult band label to sell over sixty million copies of two iconic 1970s albums? And what happened when a wall appeared, cutting them off from their audience and even from one another? Could they survive the loss of further group members?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis unique group gave so much to Britain, yet in telling the personal stories of the five remarkable individuals comprising it the impact of their music is sometimes overlooked. This book focuses on that music: Syd Barrett's melodic childhood nuggets, David Gilmour's transcendent blues guitar, Roger Waters' lyrical brilliance, and Nick Mason's mesmeric drumming; and the keyboards and voice of Rick Wright, whose loss inspired mourning and tributes reinforcing his position as the soul of the group, not least when it came to the final Pink Floyd album.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book tells a fifty-five year story, from the sun-dappled haunts of Cambridge, through stadium concerts and the fourth bestselling album of all time, to the messy, but ultimately triumphant conclusion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePink Floyd reside close to the heart of Britain, but their story belongs to the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen Palmer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1036129276\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781036129279\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e White Owl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/30\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Stephen Palmer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48852739948799,"sku":"9781036129279","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pink-floyd-stephen-palmer-9781036129279","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
