The theatrical release of David Gilmour Live In Gdańsk will be dedicated to the memory of the late Richard Wright, who appears in the film. Richard Wright, one of the founding members of Pink Floyd, passed away on Monday, September 15th after a short illness.
David Gilmour writes, “No one can replace Richard Wright. He was my musical partner and my friend. He was gentle, unassuming and private but his soulful voice and playing were vital, magical components of our most recognised Pink Floyd sound.”
