The music world is mourning the loss of David Crosby. The legendary singer-songwriter, who co-founded The Byrds and Crosby Stills Nash and Young, died at age 81 on January 19th.

“It is with a deep and profound sadness that I learned that my friend David Crosby has passed,” wrote longtime bandmate Graham Nash. “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.”

In his own statement to Rolling Stone, Stephen Stills said Crosby “was without question a giant of a musician, and his harmonic sensibilities were nothing short of genius. The glue that held us together as our vocals soared, like Icarus, towards the sun. I am deeply saddened at his passing and shall miss him beyond measure.”

“I don’t know what to say other than I’m heartbroken to hear about David Crosby,” Brian Wilson wrote along with a photo of the pair together. “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.”

“Grateful for the time we had with David Crosby,” Jason Isbell tweeted shortly after news broke of his death. “We’ll miss him a lot.”

Melissa Etheridge also paid tribute to the late musician, who was the sperm donor of her child: “I will miss you my friend,” she wrote.
