By Mike Collett-White

LONDON (Reuters) - Syd Barrett, the troubled founding member of Pink Floyd, has died aged 60, after living the life of a recluse for the last 30 years.

"The band are naturally very upset and sad to learn of Syd Barrett's death," Pink Floyd said in a statement on Tuesday.

"Syd was the guiding light of the early band line-up and leaves a legacy which continues to inspire."


A source close to the band, who did not want to be named, said Barrett died on Friday. Media reports say complications from diabetes were the cause.
