Storm was practically peerless with his artwork and album designs and has left a great void in the music and art world.
A message on the Pink Floyd's website states "We are saddened by the news that
long-time Pink Floyd graphic genius, friend and collaborator, Storm
Thorgerson, has died."
Nick Mason remarked that Storm had "great ideas and high, sometimes infuriatingly high, standards".
David Gilmour called him "an inseparable part of our work".
He went on to say "We first met in our early teens. We would gather at Sheep's Green, a spot by the river
in Cambridge and Storm would always be there holding forth, making the most noise, bursting
with ideas and enthusiasm. Nothing has ever really changed.
He has been a constant force in my life, both at work and in private, a shoulder to cry on and a great friend.
The artworks that he created for Pink Floyd from 1968 to the present day have been an inseparable part of our work.
I will miss him. David Gilmour."
