SYD BARRETT
(1946-2006)
At the Pink Floyd reunion in London’s
Hyde Park for Live8, there was one
member missing.
Often called an eccentric genius,
Syd Barrett formed the supergoup
Pink Floyd in 1965 and wrote, sang
and played guitar on all their early hit
records,
including
the
1967
masterpiece Piper at the Gates Dawn.
He left the band in 1968 after
experiencing
some
kind
of
breakdown due to the pressures of
stardom and touring. He made two
solo albums, The Madcap Laughs
and Barrett, both released in 1970,
which continue to sell well.
Barrett then left the music
business completely, deciding a
musician’s life was not for him. He
did not make any music at all after
1974. Once a household name, he is
now more or less forgotten except by
his fans. He moved back to his home
town of Cambridge and started to use
his original name of Roger Barrett.
He lived alone, quietly spending his
time painting and gardening. He
received a six-figure income from his
Pink Floyd royalties, but his contact
with the outside world was minimal.
Although he hadn’t appeared or
spoken in public since the mid-
1970s, fans and journalists still
attempted to contact him.
In 1971 a journalist tracked him
down. Syd told the reporter that he
walked a lot, painted, wasted time
and feared getting old. He also said
that he felt full of dust and guitars.
Out of sight, out of mind?
In today’s multi-media age, it seems no artist
with something to sell can afford not to do
interviews and chat shows to publicise their
latest product. People’s interest in celebrity
means we often know more about the artists
than their work. Below, our reporter Wendy
Finch profiles the recluse from the world of
the arts who decided not to play the media
game. Why are we fascinated by the artists
themselves when really their work should
speak for them?
40
Another journalist reported that a
bald, fat man answered the door and
said that Syd couldn’t talk. In 1992,
Atlantic Records offered half a
million dollars for any new Syd
Barrett recordings.
His family reported that he was
content and reasonably healthy. More
recently, when fans or journalists
called on him he was polite and
coherent, but unwilling to discuss his
past as a famous rock star. Talking to
one journalist on his doorstep in
2001, Syd asked him to leave as he
didn’t do interviews any more.
