From Graham on facebook:

"It is with a deep and profound sadness that I learned that my friend David Crosby has passed. I know people tend to focus on how volatile our relationship has been at times, but what has always mattered to David and me more than anything was the pure joy of the music we created together, the sound we discovered with one another, and the deep friendship we shared over all these many long years. David was fearless in life and in music. He leaves behind a tremendous void as far as sheer personality and talent in this world. He spoke his mind, his heart, and his passion through his beautiful music and leaves an incredible legacy. These are the things that matter most. My heart is truly with his wife, Jan, his son, Django, and all of the people he has touched in this world."

I will miss that grin he often had on his face. This is the end of CS&N and CSN&Y which were one of the first supergroups.

listening now.

Im also sending out texts regarding this. I feel sad never having met this man but enjoying his music. Perhaps many of us are sad for ourselves as the world we made memories from is disappearing......

We're rapidly losing some of the greats & famous in the music-world from the 60's on. I thought last yr had big losses. It's just mid-Jan with Jeff Beck & Marie Pressley last week & David Crosby this week.

From The Byrds & CSN(&Y) to solo work, he left a big mark in music. Including songs like Wooden Ships he co-wrote with members of Jefferson Airplane and performed by them as well as CSN. And Triad, written by him, sung by Grace Slick on the JA album Crown of Creation.

So many have enjoyed all this music over the decades.

Very sad. Sorry to hear this. At least he made it to 81, there was a time when it didn't look like that would happen. He was a very talented musician. He can add his voice to that great band in the sky (if he can get along with any of them).
RIP Mr. Crosby.

 

[Shnicks]

Another of the most formative icons… such an extraordinary writer, such a beautiful voice. RIP… “free and easy, the way it’s supposed to be.”

OH wow, just saw this thread. Traveling for work, so I didn't hear the news. What a total kick in the gut. What an amazing talent he was. Just wow......

 

[quicksrt]

It's going to be a very rough year. But we have the music and multichannel mixes of these heavies to get us through most of these sad passings.

 

[JohnN]

Great songwriter. Rest in peace.
