BARRETT SET FOR HOMETOWN HONOUR

Late PINK FLOYD frontman SYD BARRETT will be honoured in his hometown of Cambridge, England, with a statue. The psychedelic rock legend died aged 60 in Cambridge in July (06) following complications relating to diabetes. Barrett had been a recluse since leaving the band in 1968 after suffering an LSD-induced breakdown. His family have given a local campaign their blessing to erect a statue in the city, if council officials approve it.
