Why David Crosby and Graham Nash split from Stephen Stills and Neil Young

Singer-songwriter-guitarist David Crosby has died after long illness. He was 81 years old. He was a founding member of two popular and enormously influential 1960s rock units, the Byrds and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.

The iconic band Crosby, Stills, Young and Nash has left an
everlasting mark on the music industry with their sings and creations. The band
was initially formed by David Crosby and Stephen Stills. Later, they were joined
by Graham Nash and Neil Young. While the group was initially formed in 1968,
they saw their first big hit in 1970 when they released their album titled Déjà
Vu. It is one of their best-selling albums and went on to sell 8 million copies
with three hit singles.

Crosby said that the other members of CSNY, specifically Young and Graham, will likely never speak to him again. “Neil’s got a legitimate beef because I dissed his girlfriend. I get it. I apologized for it with you — you helped me do that,” Crosby told Stern. “Nash kind of seems to think that I’m responsible for everything wrong since the Korean War, which is weird, but it’s okay,” he added.
