Dark Side voice McCullough dies

Posted June 14, 2016 by Floydian Slip

Henry McCullough, whose utterance “I don’t know, I was really drunk at the time” can be heard on Pink Floyd’s “The Dark Side of the Moon” (1973), has died.

He was 72 and passed away after a long illness at his home in Ballymoney, Northern Ireland.

McCullough played with Joe Cocker, Donovan, Leon Russell, Ronnie Laine, but, perhaps most famously, with Paul McCartney and Wings.

His contribution to “Dark Side” can be heard at the end of “Money,” recounting an argument he supposedly had with his wife the night before.
