 Some very sad news today: Dick Parry, the English saxophonist who played with numerous artists, but was probably best known for his work with Pink Floyd, has died.
Born in Suffolk, Parry, once in Cambridge, started his musical career, and was a friend of David Gilmour. Later Parry was asked by Gilmour to play sax on The Dark Side Of The Moon, and he recreated his iconic sax solos on Money and Us And Them on the 1973 tour. He remained as part of the touring band until the end of the 1977 tour, playing sax (including the standout sax on Shine On You Crazy Diamond) as well as additional keyboards, rejoining Pink Floyd on the road in 1994. He also took part in the Pink Floyd reunion in 2005's Live 8.
Following his sterling work on The Dark Side Of The Moon, Parry also played sax on Wish You Were Here and The Division Bell. Later, he rejoined Gilmour for the 2001/2002 live dates, which ultimately lead to the 2006 On An Island tour, where Parry again played sax, additional keyboards, and the glass harmonica.
He will be sorely missed. Our sincere condolences to his family and friends.
