David Crosby, the trailblazing singer-songwriter whose time with The Byrds and later Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young expanded rock’s range, has died, his publicist said Thursday. He was 81.

Over the course of six decades in the music industry, the vocalist, guitarist and composer at the forefront of countercultural rock penned a rich array of heartfelt ballads and knife-edged bangers.“I don’t know what to say other than I’m heartbroken to hear about David Crosby,” tweeted Brian Wilson, co-founder of the Beach Boys.

Crosby’s sparring with both Young and Nash was well-documented, but the latter was quick to react to news of his bandmate’s death, expressing “deep and profound sadness” while praising his “beautiful music” and “incredible legacy.” But writing with peers “extended my life as a writer tremendously,” he said. “I just love making music.”

“He gave me the gift of family,” Etheridge tweeted upon news of Crosby’s death. “His music and legacy will inspire many generations to come. A true treasure.”
