Syd Barrett [SEP] Death and aftermath
Barrett died at home in Cambridge on 7 July 2006 aged 60, from pancreatic cancer. He was cremated. In 2006, his home in St. Margaret's Square, Cambridge, was put on the market and reportedly attracted considerable interest. After over 100 showings, many to fans, it was sold to a French couple who reportedly knew nothing about Barrett. On 28 November 2006, Barrett's other possessions were sold at an auction at Cheffins auction house in Cambridge, raising £120,000 for charity. Items sold included paintings, scrapbooks and everyday items that Barrett had decorated. "NME" produced a tribute issue to Barrett a week later with a photo of him on the cover.
