The legendary David Crosby has died. The musician was 81 years old and part of the golden age of rock in the 1960s.
The singer-songwriter-guitarist was a founding member of two popular and extremely influential rock bands of the 1960s, the Byrds and Crosby, Stills & Nash (later Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young).
This Thursday afternoon, David Crosby’s wife publicly announced her husband’s death: “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 soul mate Jan and their son Django. Although he is no longer with us, his humanity and kind soul will continue to guide and inspire us. His legacy will live on through his legendary music. Peace, love and harmony to all who knew David and those he touched. He will be greatly missed. At this time, we respectfully and kindly ask for privacy as we grieve and try to cope with our profound loss. Thank you for your love and prayers.”
