Subject: Syd Barrett dies aged 60

Syd Barrett, the former lead singer of Pink Floyd and one of the key
figures of the 60s, has died at the Cambridgeshire home to which he
retreated as a recluse more than 30 years ago.

The Guardian has learned that the singer, 60, who suffered from a
psychedelic-drug induced breakdown while at the peak of his career,
died last Friday from complications related to diabetes.

His brother Alan confirmed his death, saying only: "He died
peacefully
at home. There will be a private family funeral in the next few
days."
