Wiki

In another incident, Syd Barrett wandered into the studio (heavyset, with a completely shaved head and eyebrows) while the band was recording Wish You Were Here, although Nick Mason has since stated that he's not entirely certain whether "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" was the particular song being recorded when the man was in the studio. Due to his drastically changed appearance, the band could not recognize him for some time.

When they eventually recognized Barrett, Waters was so distressed he was reduced to tears. Someone asked to play the song again and Barrett said a second playback wasn't needed when they'd just heard it. Apparently, when "Wish You Were Here" was played, "He [Barrett] stood up and said, 'Right, when do I put my guitar on?'" keyboardist Richard Wright recalled. "And of course, he didn't have a guitar with him. And we said, 'Sorry, Syd, the guitar's all done.'"

When asked what he thought of Wish You Were Here, Barrett said it sounded a "bit old". He subsequently slipped away during the party for Gilmour's wedding (which was, coincidentally, also on that day). It was the last time any of the other band members saw him.
