David Crosby died during battle with COVID-19, according to Graham Nash

David Crosby passed away during a battle with COVID-19, according to his former Crosby, Stills and Nash bandmate Graham Nash.

Nash said "none of us" knew Crosby was close to death when the rocker died at age 81 in January. He called the two-time Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee's death "shocking" and "kind of like an earthquake."

“He was rehearsing for a show to do in Los Angeles with a full band,” Nash said on an episode of the Kyle Meredith With... podcast that was released Friday. “After three days of rehearsals, he felt a little sick. And he’d already had COVID, and he had COVID again. And so he went home and decided that he would take a nap, and he never woke up. But he died in his bed, and that is fantastic."

Nash also shared that while some "expected David to pass 20 years ago, the fact that he made it to 81 was astonishing." He went on to say how pleased he was that he and Crosby were growing closer in recent years. "He had a good life. What incredible music he made. He was a fantastic storyteller," said Nash. "I loved him dearly, and looking back, what separated us ... it was just foolish stuff, really."

Literally going to Sleep. This time, with the angels. He’ll probably be busy managing the Heavenly Choir.

I would assume he was on anti-rejection drugs which all but destroy your immune system.

Just speculation on my part.

Organ transplants are wonderful, lifesaving things, but they come with a price tag that in the time of a major pandemic can be pretty steep.

She and Neil met while he was still married to his wife of 30 years. He filed for divorce shortly thereafter. She IS very pretty and it doesn't hurt that she's 15 years younger.

so he had to have done a lot of things right at the end of his life. It gave him a good, long run as a writer and performer, more than his first 50 years would have predicted.

I'm glad his end was peaceful.
