Singer-songwriter David Crosby, who was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame twice – for his work with The Byrds and Crosby, Stills & Nash – has died. He was 81.
A source close to Crosby confirmed his death to NBC News.
Crosby’s life and art intersected key moments in American history: Woodstock, the 1970 Kent State shootings and the Vietnam War among them.
Crosby was notably irascible, and an Associated Press reporter wrote in 2019 that “we’ll remember his name as much for the songs as for the destructive force he became.”
In 2019, when the documentary ”David Crosby: Remember My Name” was released, none of his former bandmates were talking to him.
“I was a difficult cat,” he said.
In recent years, Crosby found a new audience on Twitter, not as much for his music as for his quick wit and critiques of others’ joint-rolling technique.
This is a developing story.
