David Crosby

Chuffola

RIP - a maverick and a flawed genius. One of my heroes. Suppose it's a surprise he made it to the 80s really. 

Great solo but even better with 2 or 3 of his mates, before they all fell out. Again.

Jo-to-po

Dead at 81 apparently. That’s really sad, felt like he was still going. RIP

CSN&Y, was part of my music growing up. Sad to hear. R.I.P. 

Schnozz

He made wonderful, wonderful music.

That CSN performance at Glastonbury has to be the best I've seen.

RIP

He was an interesting character.

Possibly the best/most enjoyable gig I have ever had the fortune of going to was Crosby and Nash. Was always sad they had fallen out years later, because before they did, man I have never seen so much love on stage. RIP Croz, your beautiful voice will be missed but still cherished.

Amazing that his voice lasted as long as it did. Both it and he could have gone forty years ago.

The music lives on.

Full respect and RIP…..David Crosby was a no-compromise music maker and one of a kind. Sad Day.

Fuck it. This is one of those that hurts. 

I guess we're only going to see more of it, though. 

RIP Croz

Such a shame. So many greats seem to have passed recently

This one hits hard. Wonderful musician. His music along with Stills and Nash changed my life. Gutted.

Man, that caught me off guard. I'm a big fan of his music and last year bought all his output from over the past five years.
One of the songs even says " I've been thinking of dying and how to do it well" 
Those albums are amazing, he was at the top of his game right to the end.
A very sad day indeed.

Definitely a one off, he'll be sadly missed, I was starting to believe he was immortal. I  now fear for Keith Richards.

The barbers in the sky will be disappointed.

His contributions on Echo In The Canyon are worth the entrance fee alone. Shame, this one. 

CloudNine

Wow, gutted. RIP Croz. If I Could Only Remember My Name is definitely in my top 5 favourite albums, and so much other great output. One of the great characters from a golden era of music.

We all wanted to have got to go to a Laurel Canyon Crosby party....

Was just listening to Deja Vu yesterday. Great harmonist and a real character. 

RIP. 

As a side note I see the BBC news have screwed up, as usual, by putting Stephen Stills in The Hollies and Graham Nash in Buffalo Springfield. Does nobody ever proof read these things?  

David Crosby: US rock legend dies aged 81 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-64341315

Wow! Shocked! I know he could’ve easily gone a long time ago, but still shocking.. made some beautiful music, and was quite a character.. RIP

axisus

I'll be honest, I don't know his music at all. He had such an iconic look though. Always full of opinions as well! 

I was surprised to read that average male age in the US is 74.5. Over there 81 would be a decent innings although in the UK average is just over 82.

CoolCat

A sad loss to the world of music.

R.I.P.

CSN & CSNY were part of my music education during my teenage years.
