I knew people who knew Syd, and he had been suffering from schizophrenia since he was a teen. When Floyd really started to catch on, the stress proved too much for him, and he had at least one full-fledged psychotic break while touring. Although even after he'd been replaced, he would still show up at gigs now and again, oblivious to the fact he'd been fired from the band. At least the others made sure he got his royalties all these years.
