David Crosby, iconic singer-songwriter and founding member of the Byrds, has been remembered for his passion for life and 'beautiful music' after his tragic passing. 🔗
Crosby launched his music career in 1964 with the Byrds alongside Roger McGuinn and Gene Clark, moving on in 1968 to form Crosby, Stills & Nash, which won the 1969 Grammy for best new artist after the group's eponymous debut album.

Crosby died at age 81.The influential voice of 1960s and '70s rock was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame twice—as a member of the Byrds in 1991 and for Crosby, Stills & Nash in 1997. Crosby also dabbled as an actor during his career, appearing in the 1990s films"Hook,""Thunderheart" and"Backdraft." Crosby, Stills & Nash eventually expanded to Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young with the addition of award-winning singer-songwriter, Neil Young. However, asreported, the"constant clash of egos" within the supergroup ultimately led to the band dismantling in the 1970s, though the four members would"regroup sporadically" over the years.
