Pink Floyd star David Gilmour has performed one of the band’s early songs in tribute to the group’s keyboardist Richard Wright, who died last week.

Gilmour gave a poignant rendition of Remember A Day, written by Wright, who died from cancer at the age of 65.

The song was on Pink Floyd’s 1968 second album Saucerful of Secrets.

“He created a sound that glued the whole Pink Floyd thing together,” Gilmour said on BBC Two music show Later… With Jools Holland.

“He was just a very self-effacing but very talented, lovely chap. We’re incredibly sad to have lost him.”
