Pink Floyd Web site Brain Damage reported that one-time Pink Floyd roadie Alan Styles died Dec. 8 of pneumonia. He was 75.
Styles, pictured here on the left with road manager/sound engineer Peter Watts on the back of the band’s 1969 “Ummagumma” album, was the namesake of the song “Alan’s Psychedelic Breakfast” from 1970’s “Atom Heart Mother.”
He can be heard throughout the avant-garde piece muttering to himself while going about his business preparing breakfast.

Hello
So sorry to hear of the passing of Alan Styles. Just a little to late for I have been trying to contact him on the behalf of my good friend, Wolter R. Lee. Very sad news indeed.
For Wolter wish. was to reconnect with his good friend.
Wolter share good times in Sausalito, on Alans houseboat in the early 1970’s. They share wonderful times together.
Two good people are now no longer with us, Wolter in Nov 2011 and Alan in Dec 2011, just a month apart.
If anyone remember Wolter he worked at the Trident Resturant in Sausalito, and it was with Alan’s kindness gave Wolter a place to stay.
I only wish I could of passed this message on sooner when both of them were with us.
My thoughts to the family. Being former Marinite, now living in the U.K. I think fondly back on the Fern Bars of the Trident and the struggles of the people who shareed in retaining their houseboats.
Anyone is welcome to contact me.
