David Gilmour has shared a tribute to longtime Pink Floyd saxophonist Richard "Dick" Parry who has passed away at the age of 83. The session musician performed on many Pink Floyd songs inlcuding "Money", "Us and Them", and "Shine On You Crazy Diamond".
Gilmour had the following to say, "My dear friend Dick Parry died this morning. Since I was seventeen, I have played in bands with Dick on saxophone, including Pink Floyd.
"His feel and tone make his saxophone playing unmistakable, a signature of enormous beauty that is known to millions and is such a big part of songs such as 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond', 'Wish You Were Here', 'Us and Them' and 'Money'.
"He played in the last band I had that included Rick Wright for the On An Island Tour and at Live 8 with Pink Floyd. Here are some pictures of him, including one of him and me playing for the ABC Minors at the Victoria Cinema in Cambridge in 1963."
