Former Pink Floyd Manager Dies

• 30th Sep 2008

Former Pink Floyd manager Bryan Morrison has died at the age of 66. He had been in a coma for more than two years following a polo accident.

Morrison began his career in music by managing bands whilst he was still an art student at St Martin's College. The first band of note he worked with was The Pretty Things before moving on to manage Pink Floyd. He subsequently also worked with the likes of T-Rex, Elton John, and Wham! Realising early on that there was money to be made from publishing music, he also set up his own company, Lupus Music.

In later years, his interest in polo took over, however. In 1985 he founded the Royal County of Berkshire Polo Club, and it was there that the accident that ultimately claimed his life took place, when he was thrown from a horse back in July 2006.

He is survived by his wife, former model Greta van Rantwyk, and their two children.
