avid Crosby, one of the most influential rock musicians of the 1960s and '70s and who was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame with two different groups, has died at the age of 81.
Crosby was a founding member of two revered rock bands: the country and folk-influenced Byrds, for whom he cowrote the hit "Eight Miles High," and Crosby, Stills & Nash, later Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, who defined the smooth side of the Woodstock generation's music.
"It is with a deep and profound sadness that I learned that my friend David Crosby has passed," Graham Nash, his longtime collaborator and sometime sparring partner, said in a statement.
"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 ... and the deep friendship we shared," Nash said.
