"Syd was the guiding light of the early band lineup and leaves a legacy which continues to inspire." -- a statement from the surviving members of Pink Floyd -- David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Rick Wright -- along with Roger Waters

"I can't tell you how sad I feel. Syd was a major inspiration for me. His impact on my thinking was enormous. A major regret is that I never got to know him. A diamond indeed." -- David Bowie
