David Crosby was drawn into the Byrds orbit soon after their formation, his quicksilver artistry adding rock ‘n’roll spirit to their folk-rock mix. The band were pop revolutionaries, with their take on ‘Mr Tambourine Man’ spawning an international wave of imitators.
Such a potent partnership couldn’t remain in place, however, and Crosby exited the band in 1967 due to prodigious drug use and comments onstage at Monterey Pop Festival.

RadarOnline reports that the ‘father of folk-rock’ had planned his own funeral years in advance, holding on to hopes that his former bandmates will let bygones be bygones and show a united front for his final farewell. He has not been on speaking terms with any of his estranged bandmates — Stephen Stills, Graham Nash and Neil Young — for many years.
An insider had previously spilled that while Crosby can be ‘brash and arrogant,’ his bandmates mean much more to him after working with them for 50 years. “He doesn’t want to leave this earth on bad terms with them…He’d like to reconcile so they would attend his funeral.” Crosby is survived by his wife and six children.
