Veteran US folk-rock star David Crosby has died aged 81, his representative has confirmed.
He helped set up two major bands in the 1960s: The Byrds, and Crosby, Stills and Nash. He was renowned for his guitar-playing and vocal harmonies.
His career saw him achieve the rare feat of being inducted to the revered Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice.
Former bandmate Graham Nash expressed his "profound sadness", despite the two men's often "volatile" relationship.
Crosby's wife told showbiz site Variety that he died "after a long illness" while surrounded by family.
"His legacy will continue to live on through his legendary music," her statement added.

At an awards ceremony in 1991 he quipped "For a guy who was supposed to be dead a couple years ago, I'm doing pretty well." He lived longer than many expected. His music will probably last a lot longer.

He outlived two perfectly good livers, so there's that.
