In a new interview with Mojo for their latest issue, Graham Nash opened up about his estrangement from David Crosby, and the loss he feels since Crosby’s passing in 2023.
Nash had hoped to reconcile after years of not speaking to each other. “I wrote back to him. I said, ‘David, I’m still hurt by what you said. I don’t know.’” Crosby left a voicemail, saying, “Please, let’s talk.”
Nash then set up a FaceTime call “because I wanted to look into his eyes while I was talking to him.” However, before they got a chance to speak, Crosby passed away on January 18, 2023. “I miss David terribly. We had a couple of years that were a little nasty. But towards the end, we were getting together and saying, ‘Hey, c’mon, what the f*ck?,'” he added.
Crosby died from complications related to a COVID-19 infection. Since then, fans have wondered if Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young would continue in any form.
“I don’t think that me and Stephen and Neil will ever play together again,” Nash said during an interview with Rolling Stone. “There’s no heart there. David was the center of it all, as crazy as he was. And my God, he was crazy.”
“But he was the heart of this band. And that’s why I think that if Stephen and Neil and I ever played together, people would be missing Crosby. We would be missing Crosby. It just would be a much colder scene,” he added.
Before Crosby’s passing, the two even made a pact, saying they would never be victims of rock’n’roll.
While Nash didn’t and still doesn’t have any plans to bring Stills, Nash & Young back, Young and Stephen Stills came together on stage as part of a charity concert.
