Graham Nash, Melissa Etheridge, and More Pay Tribute to David Crosby

Tributes from the music industry and beyond are being shared upon the death of David Crosby on January 19. Crosby was known for being part of two genre-defining folk-rock groups: the Byrds and Crosby, Stills & Nash (later Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young). “David was fearless in life and in music. He leaves behind a tremendous void as far as sheer personality and talent in this world,” his former bandmate Graham Nash wrote on Facebook. “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.” Below are tributes from Melissa Etheridge, Jason Isbell, Christina Applegate, and more of those affected by his music and legacy.

RIP David Crosby. Nine days after Jeff Beck. There are so many talented musicians of that generation that I’ll never be ready to see pass regardless of their age.

This is very sad. David had just announced a new band, with a tour to follow.
Rest in peace, David Crosby. https://t.co/9N4k2PugD9

When my son was about 10, David came over to our table in a restaurant and said, “Son, do you know your father is a hero all over the world?” I still pull that quote out when I need it. Thanks, David. RIP https://t.co/4suSKjcU5a

The world has lost yet another ethereal fixture of the ‘60s peace and love movement; a legend within his own right, and every group he was a part of. Coming up in the same era as The Doors, David Crosby had the voice and song writing abilities that made him completely unique… pic.twitter.com/Rl9AFDEe7z

Sometimes I pinch myself when I look back at the people I worked with who I admired as a kid.

I repped David Crosby on different occasions. He was his own man. He could be cantankerous, he could be a pussycat. That was Cros.

About as real as you could get.

David Crosby stuck to his guns. 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. A brilliant songwriter, and an American Icon, RIP. pic.twitter.com/lwL5emAdQ3
