Following news of the 81-year-old’s death, some of his bandmates shared statements with Fox News Digital.
Crosby, Stills & Nash member Graham Nash’s statement read: “It is with deep sadness that I learned of the passing of my friend David Crosby. I know people tend to focus about the volatility of our relationship at times., but what has always meant to David and me more than anything is the sheer joy of the music we created together, the sound we discovered with each other and the deep friendship we shared over the course of of all these long years.”

Nash’s statement continued: “David was fearless in life and in music. He leaves behind a huge void when it comes to personality and talent in this world. He expressed his spirit, his heart and his passion through his beautiful music and leaves an incredible legacy. Those are the things that matter most. My heart is truly with his wife, Jan, his son, Django, and everyone he touched in this world.
Stephen Stills’ statement to Fox News Digital read: “I read a quote in the paper this morning attributed to Gustav Mahler’s composition that stopped me for a moment:
“Death came into the room on placid cat paws. I should have known something was up. David and I bumped our heads a lot over time, but it was mostly stare shots, but still left us with numb skulls. I was happy to be at peace with him. He was undoubtedly a giant of a musician, and his harmonic sensibilities were nothing short of genius. The glue that held us together as our voice flew, like Icarus, towards the sun. I am deeply saddened by his passing and will miss him beyond measure.”
