According to various media reports, David Crosby, the boisterous rock musician who went from being a baby-faced harmony vocalist with the Byrds to a mustachioed hippie celebrity and an enduring troubadour with Crosby, Stills, Nash & (sometimes) Young, has passed away at the age of 81.
Two times, once for his work with the Byrds and again for his work with CSN, Crosby was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
He worked on five of the “The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time” list by Rolling Stone, three with the Byrds, and two with CSN (Y).
He was politically active and occasionally portrayed as a symbol of the 1960s counterculture.
Did David Crosby have a heart transplant?
After years of drug abuse, Crosby got a liver transplant in 1994 and recovered from diabetes, hepatitis C, and heart surgery by the time he was in his 70s. He did not have a heart transplant.
