Richard Wright (musician) - Definition and Overview

Richard Wright, also known as Rick Wright (born July 28, 1945), is the keyboard player of Pink Floyd. He was a full member from the beginning in 1966. He was ousted by Roger Waters during recording of The Wall and was only a paid session musician during The Wall (1980-1981) tour. Ironically, this meant he was the only member of Pink Floyd to make any money from the tour, as the other band members had to cover the losses incurred from their own pockets. He also worked as a session musician on the A Momentary Lapse of Reason album sessions and tour. He was reinstated for the making of The Division Bell (1994). He also played in the PULSE concert where he had to play a major role on the keyboard.
