Richard Parry (December 22, 1942 – May 22, 2026) was an English saxophonist. During his career, he appeared as a session musician on various albums, most notably with Pink Floyd on the songs "Money", "Us and Them", "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" and "Wearing the Inside Out". He also played on the Bloodstone album Riddle of the Sphinx.
My dear friend Dick Parry died this morning,” Gilmour wrote on Instagram. “Since I was seventeen, I have played in bands with Dick on saxophone, including Pink Floyd. His feel and tone make his saxophone playing unmistakable, a signature of enormous beauty that is known to millions and is such a big part of songs such as Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Wish You Were Here, Us and Them and Money.
Parry started his career as a saxophonist in The Soul Committee, a band based in Cambridge that was active in the mid-1960s. He was a lifelong friend of Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour.
Gilmour asked him to play on Pink Floyd studio albums, including The Dark Side of the Moon (1973), Wish You Were Here (1975), and The Division Bell (1994), as well as in every Pink Floyd live performance between 1973 and 1977, and the 1994 world tour.
Parry also played additional keyboards during Shine On You Crazy Diamond Parts I, VI and IX on Pink Floyd's 1977 In the Flesh Tour. He also toured as part of the Who's brass section on their 1979–1980 tours.
Parry appeared at the Pink Floyd reunion at Live 8, where he played his saxophone part on "Money". In 2009, he toured Europe and South Africa with the Violent Femmes.

World class beer bar but you better know what you want before you order-or else you'l get "the look" or be completely ignored.
Dave Mason, May 10, 1946 – April 19, 2026 renowned English Singer-Songwriter and guitarist who first gained fame as a founding member of the rock band Traffic, Dead at 79
Over a career spanning six decades, he was a prolific solo artist and one of the most sought-after session musicians in Rock history, collaborating with legends like Jimi Hendrix, George Harrison, and Michael Jackson.
Mason's tenure with Traffic was disjointed. He was a founding member of the group, but left following the release of their debut album, Mr. Fantasy (1967), only to rejoin halfway through the sessions for their next album, Traffic (1968), after which he left again. Last Exit (1969), a compilation of odds and ends, features little material by Mason apart from his song "Just for You".
Traffic later re-formed without Mason, although he briefly began working with the band for a third time, touring with them in 1971 and playing on Welcome to the Canteen. In his brief spells with the group, Mason wrote alone; Steve Winwood later recalled, "We all [Winwood, Jim Capaldi and Chris Wood] tended to write together, but Mason would come in with a complete song that he was going to sing and tell us all what he expected us to play. No discussion, like we were his backing group"
He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004 for his work with Traffic.
According to recent reports and tributes on social media platforms and music forums, Mason passed away at the age of on April 21, 2026.
Prior to this, in late 2025, he had officially retired from touring due to ongoing heart health challenges, though he planned to continue recording.

You mean my girlfriend who cannot even back out of my driveway without running over the sprinkler heads in the yard. I just had to replace 2 last week. I’ve now put up little flags like they use for gas lines. Small chance that even works.

The Euston Tap: Dedicated cider bar with cask ales and draught beers, in a Victorian gatehouse with beer garden. More of a beer bar than pub..but a cool, unique place to have a beer.

re: 18 year old girl found dead wrapped in blankets under a bed on Carnival cruise ship

A 16-year-old has been indicted by a grand jury on murder and aggravated sexual abuse charges for allegedly killing his stepsister on a cruise ship last year.
The suspect, who is only identified by the initials T.H. because of his age, was indicted by a federal grand jury, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. The teenager was originally charged as a minor in February with the case under seal, but is now being prosecuted as an adult after a federal judge's ruling.
T.H. was aboard the Carnival Cruise Line's Horizon ship with his stepsister Anna Kepner in November 2025. While aboard the ship, prosecutors allege he sexually assaulted and intentionally killed Kepner.
The 18-year-old high school cheerleader from Titusville, Florida, was found dead while aboard the Carnival Horizon cruise ship. Law enforcement sources told multiple media outlets that Kepner's body was found by a housekeeper under the bed in her stateroom on the ship, which returned to Port Miami on Saturday, Nov. 8.
ABC News reported that Kepner died by asphyxiation resulting from a bar hold, a term for holding an arm across the neck. The media outlet also reported investigators found two bruises on the side of her neck.
“In his own words, he says he does not remember what happened,” Barbara told ABC News. “I believe, to him, that is his truth. He was an emotional mess. He couldn't even speak. He couldn't believe what had happened.”
Following Anna's death, the stepbrother was hospitalized for psychiatric observation after returning to Miami, before being released to stay with a family member, Barbara told ABC News.
