Graham Nash
"It is with a deep and profound sadness that I learned that my friend David Crosby has passed," Graham Nash wrote on Facebook. "I know people tend to focus on how volatile our relationship has been at times, but what has always mattered to David and me more than anything was the pure joy of the music we created together, the sound we discovered with one another, and the deep friendship we shared over all these many long years. David was fearless in life and in music. He leaves behind a tremendous void as far as sheer personality and talent in this world. 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."
Brian Wilson
"I don't know what to say other than I'm heartbroken to hear about David Crosby," The Beach Boys co-founder Brian Wilson wrote. "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 David's family and friends. Love, Brian."
Roseanne Cash
"I can't begin to say how influential Crosby, Stills, and Nash were for me. I'm grateful David Crosby lived and so very sad he's gone," Roseanne Cash, the daughter of Johnny Cash, wrote.
The Tom Petty Estate
"Tom counted David Crosby as a friend and a hero," the Tom Petty estate wrote. "He visited often at his house in the valley. He was funny, provocative, and electric with talent. His contribution to music will never be forgotten. Our thoughts and love to his family, bandmates, and fans." In 2017, Crosby worked on an album with former Byrds bassist Chris Hillman, produced by Petty.
Jason Isbell and Melissa Etheridge
"Grateful for the time we had with David Crosby. We'll miss him a lot," Jason Isbell wrote.
Sebastian Bach and Brian Ray
"As much as I loved his music I loved his thoughts on Twitter as well. Rest In Peace David Crosby thank you for the lifetime of inspiration," Sebastian Bach wrote.
