The nine-part Pink Floyd song "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" was released as the first single from Pink Floyd's 1975 album Wish You Were Here. To whom was the song dedicated?

The song was written and composed as an homage to a memory of their former bandmate Syd Barret, a founding member of Pink Floyd. Barret was kicked out of the band in 1969 because of drug use and poor mental health, which impaired his ability to play and develop as a musician.
