David Crosby, the singer, songwriter and guitarist and member of The Byrds and Crosby, Stills & Nash, has died.
His wife, Jan Dance, told Variety Thursday, "It is with great sadness after a long illness, that our beloved David (Croz) Crosby has passed away. He was lovingly surrounded by his wife and soulmate Jan and son Django. Although he is no longer here with us, his humanity and kind soul will continue to guide and inspire us."
She continues, "His legacy will continue to live on through his legendary music. Peace, love, and harmony to all who knew David and those he touched. We will miss him dearly. At this time, we respectfully and kindly ask for privacy as we grieve and try to deal with our profound loss. Thank you for the love and prayers.”
Born in Los Angeles, David founded the band The Byrds in 1964, finding their first number one hit ... only a year later thanks to a cover of Bob Dylan's "Mr. Tambourine Man."
It was in 1968 when Crosby formed Crosby, Stills & Nash with Stephen Stills and Graham Nash. The group won a Grammy for Best New Artist in 1969.
Over the years, members of the group were able to collab with other artists freely -- and did so with the likes of Neil Young at Woodstock.
Crosby was inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as both a member of The Byrds and for his efforts with Crosby, Stills and Nash.
Thanks for that...
I won’t.
Now that’s a tidbit of music history I didn’t know- thanks for passing it on!
Finally, people waiting for livers don’t have to wait for him cutting in line again.
His interviews are just yak fests and he’s talking incoherently about absolutely nothing, I don’t know if you’ve heard a Linda Ronstadt interview but they’re very similar, it’s really weird.
.
Keith Richards actually died at some point in the 1960s and his zombie ode corpse is animated and preserved by all the drugs he was doing at the time.
I’ve used the David Cosby analogy of something like “it’s worse than getting caught with a bag of pills, a 45 automatic and a 16 year old...” or
“That’s anout as stoopid as... David Crosby getting busted with a bag of pills, a 45 automatic, and a 16 year old...”
What a freaking jerk.
I’ll give it a moratorium of 30 days before I use it again.
You got it!
Van Cortland was his mother, Crosby was his father, who was a well known Hollywood cinematographer.
Yeah, Crosby was known to be a jerk, but he had a lot more talent than you are giving him credit for. No need to disparage the dead.
Just Good Riddance for me, thx.
That makes one of us.
He makes my ears bleed.
True. Nash has a lot of class compared with most of them.
You were trash when you were doing all that filth. And now, you’re bragging about it? You need to log out of FR and not come back until you develop some perspective.
I like your interpretation better. I always try to give people the benefit of the doubt and look on the bright side, so thank you.
who is going to make it three?
I heard Adam Schiff plays the accordion.
Who,if I remember correctly, had some mean things to say about Eddie Van Halen when he died.
RIP, but like most liberals, a miserable person.
That makes me root for David Crosby
Even though DC is gone
We can only hope!
Let the water come and carry him away.
