PINK FLOYD'S EX-MANAGER MORRISON DIES

PINK FLOYD's former manager BRYAN MORRISON has died, two years after falling into a coma following a polo accident.The 65 year old - who made his name in music management and publishing for bands including the Bee Gees, Wham! and The Jam - never recovered from head injuries sustained in a 2006 incident at Windsor, England's The Royal Berkshire club, of which he was a founder.

Doctors warned his family last year (07) that there was little chance of Morrison waking up from his coma, and he passed away on Saturday (27Sep08). Morrison, who also helped to put Sir Elton John on the path to superstardom, is survived by his wife Greta, and their children Jamie and Karina. His death comes less than two weeks after Pink Floyd rocker Richard Wright lost his battle with cancer, aged 65.

It's so sad that this sport killed him. He once called it in this interview as the "new rock and roll."
