He gave me the gift of family.
Crosby was the sperm donor for Etheridge and then-partner Julie Cypher in their efforts to build a family.
David was fearless in life and in music.

He leaves behind a tremendous void as far as sheer personality and talent in this world.
These are the things that matter most.
Nash soon left the Hollies to for Crosby and Stills in 1968.

David was an unbelievable talent such a great singer and songwriter.
And a wonderful person.
I just am at a loss for words.
Love & Mercy to Davids family and friends.
I’m grateful David Crosby lived, and so very sad he’s gone.

I really don’t like anger.
But I love love.”

RIP David Crosby.
As a member of The Byrds, 1 of the historically essential Artists that created the Artform of Rock.
We owe him, and them, everything.
A difficult and gifted man.
Whose talent and taste was immense.
His harmonious voice still echoes in Laurel Canyon.
A proud man who said what he said, and felt what he felt with no apology.
