Graham Nash, who was in the band with David Crosby and was his friend, said in a podcast interview this week that Crosby died in January right after he got COVID-19.

During a “Kyle Meredith With…” appearance, Nash said, “He was practicing for a show he was going to do in Los Angeles with a full band.” “He felt a little sick after three days of rehearsals,” the 81-year-old said. “And he had COVID before, and he had it again. So he went home and decided to take a nap, but he didn’t wake up. But he died in his bed, which is a great thing.” The Los Angeles Times says that Crosby had many health problems for a long time, such as heart disease, diabetes, and the need for several liver transplants. At the time of his death, Crosby’s family said that he died after “a long illness,” but they didn’t say more.
