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.
He was known in the music world as a dick.
He was well enough to give this interview a few days ago...

At least there’s still(s) Nash
Crosby and Mantle... It’s good to be rich and able to trade in your abused and used liver for a fresh one. God love America.
So weird…”Just A Song Before I Go” was running through my head last night, out of nowhere.
R.I.P.
My younger Sister, a retired RN-NP of 41 years, helped with his liver transplant as an OR Nurse, at UCSF/ Kaiser Permanente. RIP, David.
“ He was known in the music world as a dick.”
Most libtards are
Oh no. So sad. RIP.
Goodnight 💤 you commie SOB.
Singer, songwriter, guitarist...sperm donor (Melissa Etheridge & Julie Cypher). His spawn, Beckett, OD’d & died at 21.
Keith Richards outlives another one.
Many beautiful songs. RIP.
Total dick.
He’s been dead for years, It’s just now that his pacemaker stopped.
“ It’s good to be rich and able to trade in your abused and used liver for a fresh one. God love America”
I remember he bought a place at the front of the line and they screwed over the little people for him to go first and finish abusing himself
There’s going to be a tv special about Mickey Mantle, Larry Hagman, and David Crosby. It’ll be called........
.......
‘Liver Let Die.’
David Crosby? LOL!
That he made it to 40 was a freakin' miracle.
RIP.
A great musical talent, but hard to get along with, he burned a lot of bridges. Oh, and a real asshole.
That’s what I’m saying.
Forget his (lefty,loon, ass) politics, the guy was just an epic and documented douchebag. His last public act was berating a fan on social media.
Loved his music though. CSN was one of the best concerts ever.
Lasted almost 30 years after a liver transplant. Good run, indeed.
