Wishing you peace and sweet memories. ❤️” However, another heartbreaking social media share has also emerged following the passing of the co-founder of ‘Byrds and Crosby’ and ‘Stills & Nash’.

David in his last tweet had talked about Heaven, saying, “I heard the place is overrated….cloudy,” while replying to another tweet that showed a Google search screengrab, saying, “can we go to heaven with tattoos?” The legend’s last post also received a lot of condolence messages with a user tweeting, “May you rest in peace, David. ❤️🕊️.” Another tweet from another fan read, “I can’t believe that you were just here yesterday, tweeting about Greta and weed and such, and now you’ve gone. So sad. 🥺 I only recently started following you and I’d been a fan since my mid-teens. I’m 46 tomorrow. Thank you for the songs.”

Meanwhile, not just his fans, his bandmate, Graham Nash, took to Facebook to write a heartbreaking post in his remembrance. Nash said, “It is with a deep and profound sadness that I learned that my friend David Crosby has passed. 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.”

He stated, “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.”

“I am grieving the loss of my friend and Bailey’s biological father, David. He gave me the gift of family. I will forever be grateful to him, Django, and Jan. His music and legacy will inspire many generations to come. A true treasure,” tweeted Melissa Etheridge, who used David’s sperms to become the mother of Bailey and the late Beckett.

Musician Brian Wilson wrote, “I don’t know what to say other than I’m heartbroken to hear about David Crosby. 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. Love, Brian.”
