DAVID CROSBY, DEAD AT 81
TMZ.com ^ | 1/19/2022 | TMZ

Posted on 01/19/2023 2:29:38 PM PST by chuck allen

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.

David Crosby and his wife both have Covid. He’s 80 years. I hope the vax makes the difference. He’s got a lot of health problems including having had a liver transplant.

I always intepreted it as lamenting he couldn’t go to Cuba, I don’t see it as paying homage to the Communists.

However kooky your politics, may you rest in peace, Sir.

I feel sorry for his family with their loss, but that doesn’t mean I agreed with him politically at all.

Yeah, that "humanity and kind soul" that caused everyone who ever worked with him in CSNY to never speak to him and hang up whenever he called.

In the end, they all hated his guts.

I was listening to Judy Collins singing ‘Who Knows Where the Time Goes?’ earlier today. That is of course who that song was written for.
David had an amazing harmonizing voice... I think it was Dylan that said he could ‘make anyone sound good.’ RIP.

You have no qualms about the fact that Bing Crosby's older kids hatred him for the abuse he gave them?

Actually, Crosby wrote some bad, boring songs with The Byrds (e.g, “Mind Gardens.”

He was an asshole and a disruptive force.
