Posted May 21, 2007 by Floydian Slip

Syd Barrett, the co-founder of Pink Floyd who died last summer, left nearly $3.4 million to family.

Records opened to the public last week revealed Barrett bequethed nearly £1.7 million, the equivalent of approximately $3.4 million, to his two sisters and two brothers.

Brother Alan Barrett received £425,000. Donald Barrett, Rosemary Breen and Ruth Brown each received £275,000.

Rosemary, who took care of Barrett in his later years, also received £310,000, the proceeds of the sale of the Cambridgeshire house where the late singer lived since dropping from the public eye in the early 1970s; and Barrett’s personal possessions, some of which she auctioned for £119,000.
