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.
Loved his music and his harmonies but not his tortured and conflicted soul. I would say RIP but I don’t think that is his fate.
Communist pr*ck.
Rid of him.
Well, Young is married to Darryl Hannah so Crosby may have been warranted.
Post of the day
Regarding Crosby’s attire: Was that a Sears Pancho or a real Pancho?”
See you on the other side, mate . Fwiw, Keith is 79
RIP
Great musician, lousy person.
who is going to make it three?
His real name was David Van Cortlandt. Rich family, OLD money. He pretended to be a hippy and got a disproportionate amount of press despite being just a harmonizer.
he supposedly died of Covid..which I find kind of Karma in action

Except for the homage to Communist Cuba at the end of the song.
In response, however, Graham Nash said a reunion was out of the question.
"The truth is, none of us are speaking to David. Not me, not Stephen, not Neil," he told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. "And that's the way it is.
We have to like and love each other to be able to make great music."
That echoes what Nash told Billboard in 2016.
While not saying exactly what Crosby did to make him so mad, Nash said he'd "saved his f*cking a** for 45 years," yet Crosby "treated [him] like sh*t."
dint he donate sperm to some dyke?
Heh. The Love generation.
Who is Ted Nugent going to argue with now?
Ted will argue with anyone willing.
Didnot his group produce the feculent tune ‘Four Dead in Ohio’ in ‘honor’ of the ‘martyrs of Kent State’.
RIP. A great musician. I grew up on their music.
Your work was fantastic.
