"Crazy Diamond is the best-selling biography of Syd Barrett, the legendary founder of Pink Floyd whose all too brief flash of erratic brilliance became one of rock's greatest enigmas."
"Originally Pink Floyd's singer, guitarist and principal composer, Barrett left the group in 1968 amid wild tales of acid induced madness. He made two solo albums which became cult classics and then disappeared, only to become the subject of countless 'Where is Syd?' investigations."
