The following notes could be useful:

Pink Floyd were an English rock band formed in London back in 1965. The band were essentially psychedelic and were distinguished for their extended compositions and experimentation. They became a leading band of the progressive rock genre.

Pink Floyd were founded by students Syd Barrett (guitar, lead vocals), Nick Mason (drums), Roger Waters (bass guitar, vocals), and Richard Wright (keyboards, vocals). Guitarist and vocalist David Gilmour joined the band in December 1967.

Barrett left the band early because of deteriorating mental health and Waters became the band leader.

Because of internal tensions, Wright left Pink Floyd in 1979, and Waters in 1985.

Gilmour and Mason continued as Pink Floyd, rejoined later by Wright.
