* CreatorBreakdown: One of the most famous examples of it, alongside Music/BrianWilson. A mixture of heavy drug use and previously unknown mental issues resulted in an increase of bizarre behaviour and songwriting, clashes with the rest of Music/PinkFloyd, and finally an exile from music that lasted until his death.

* CreatorBreakdown: One of the most famous examples of it, alongside Music/BrianWilson. A mixture of heavy drug use and previously unknown (and still not fully understood) mental issues resulted in an increase of bizarre behaviour and songwriting, clashes with the rest of Music/PinkFloyd, and finally an exile from music that lasted until his death.
%%* * ReclusiveArtist: Well duh.After his mental collapse at the end of the '60s and especially after his brief solo career in the '70s came to an unceremonious close, Barrett increasingly withdrew from public life and was only seen again whenever the occasional tabloid reporter ran into him. Music/RogerWaters recounts that the last time he ever saw Barrett was at a Harrods, where Barrett simply ran off and left behind bags of candy he was carrying. It was also the last time ''any'' of Barrett's Pink Floyd bandmates encountered him before his death in 2006.
* ReferencedBy: Music/{{REM}} recorded a cover version of "Dark Globe" from ''Music/TheMadcapLaughs'' as one of the B-sides to [[Music/{{Green}} "Orange Crush"]].

* BigNameFan:
** Music/DavidBowie considered the Barrett-led incarnation of Pink Floyd a crucial band in the 1960's British rock movement, and admired them so much that he performed a cover of "See Emily Play" for his CoverAlbum ''Pin Ups''. He would also later perform "Arnold Layne" with David Gilmour at a 2006 concert.
** Another GlamRock icon, Music/MarcBolan, also cited Barrett as a key influence.
** Music/RedHotChiliPeppers guitarist Music/JohnFrusciante is a noted fan of Barrett, having covered his songs on occasion. Disturbingly, Frusciante's own bouts with drug abuse, mental illness, isolation and bizarre creative output share a close similarity to Barrett's.
