Author of the biography 'Syd Barrett. Un pensiero irregolare.' Described in the available review as a musician in punk bands in the late '70s and early '80s and an admirer of Syd Barrett since age twelve.

Wrote the Syd Barrett biography cited here; the book draws on archival material and testimonies (including Libby Gausden and Rosemary Barrett) and, according to the review, Roger Waters, David Gilmour and Nick Mason declined interview requests.

The available DeBaser review praises Rob Chapman's biography of Syd Barrett for its archival research, respectful tone, and attempt to dismantle lurid myths about Barrett's decline. The reviewer highlights contributions from family and early acquaintances and values Chapman's meticulous reconstruction. The book is recommended for readers interested in Barrett's private life and music.

For:Fans of Syd Barrett and Pink Floyd, readers of music biographies, and those interested in archival music history.

 I had told myself I would never again read books or writings about him. Then I saw, in the music corner of a bookstore, this cover, approached, read the title and... boom, purchased!
