anyone know what happened to syd barret?

As Syd got more and more famous, he was taking drugs after drugs, and the pressure kept mounting, he finally snapped and went crazy. He was sent to a psycheatric ward in England (Cambridge I think) and I don't know much about him from there. He released a few more albums solo, but none were as stellar as his Pink Floyd work. While still with the band towards the end of his ride, when he was really losing it, he'd actually just go on stage and forget to do anything. He wouldn't play his guitar, or he'd just hit the same chord over and over and over again. He was a total and complete mess.

Note to self: Drugs are bad
