The staff of the British rock band Pink Floyd has changed several times. The group was founded in 1965 by Sid Barrett (guitar, vocals), Nick Mason (drums), Roger Waters (bass, vocals) and Richard Wright (keyboards, vocals). Guitarist / vocalist David Gilmore joined the band in December 1967; Barrett left in April 1968 due to a deterioration in mental health . Since the 1970s, various additional musicians have played with the group both in the studio and at concerts. Owing to creative disagreements and overstrain, Wright left Pink Floyd in 1979, and Waters left after 1985. Over time, Wright returned as a session musician, and then as a full member. Drummer Nick Mason is the only member of the group to appear on all studio releases [1] .
