RIP legend. Shocked but amazed he survived so long. His harmonies in particular were exquisite.

Oh no. One of my heroes from the 60's who I saw with CSNY at Wembley and as CSN at the Brighton Centre. Sky Trails was a brilliant late album and I suspect there may be a little more in the can as he hasn't stopped recording. A cussed bugger who had no right to survive till now due to his lifestyle and yet he did. But from my fan viewpoint I'll miss him. RIP.
I think Phil Collins paid for a liver transplant as they were friends and collaborated on a couple songs.
RIP

Gutted but I saw a documentary on him a year or so ago, he’d had a full on rock and roll lifestyle, did time and had eight stents in his heart I think. He knew he was on borrowed time. I wonder if he ever made up with Graham Nash. Very sad but he lived life to the full and had a genuine f*** you attitude for most of his life. A hippy icon, and one difficult bastard who found genuine love later in life.
I love the Byrds, CSN and CSNY and his music, they really are the tracks of my years
RIP David
I am sad, what a musician and a voice from heaven, his harmonies were brilliant too

Not according to a late 2021 interview and showed no intention of doing so. Sad as they'd been great friends.
David Crosby on love, music and rancour: ‘Neil Young is probably the most selfish person I know’
At 80, the superstar musician has survived heroin addiction, illness and tragedy to hit an unprecedented run of musical form. He discusses the joy of fatherhood, the pain of falling out with bandmates – and why Joni Mitchell is still the greatest

I've not heard much of his music, but I've always loved his Simpsons cameo:

Thanks for posting that. It is interesting and more recent than the one I posted. The Guardian is good for music articles.

I might buy the Graham Nash autobio having seen that. Rod Stewart’s was great, similar era, equally wild.
