Graham Nash Remains Optimistic about the Future of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

After Neil Young told an audience that Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young would never perform again, fans anxiously awaited an explanation. It turned out Young and David Crosby were not getting along, but Graham Nash remains optimistic about the folk supergroup.

"You know, whatever Neil wants to say is fine with me," Nash told SiriusXM, Ultimate Classic Rock notes. Nash went on to comment on the feud between his bandmates, which most likely stems from some comments Crosby made about Young's new girlfriend Daryl Hannah.

"It would be sad to me if the music of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young didn't go forward because of an inappropriate statement by David to Neil about his relationship with Daryl Hannah," he said. "I mean if we're not more grown up and if we're not more realistic about what the true value of our friendship is, it would be very sad to me."

Crosby spoke to the Idaho Statesman in September after news of Young's divorce from his wife of 36 years, Pegi, surfaced.

"I happen to know that he's hanging out with somebody that's a purely poisonous predator now," Crosby said before a photo of Young with now-girlfriend Hannah surfaced. "And that's karma. He's gonna get hurt. But I understand why it happened. I'm just sad about it. I'm always sad when I see love get tossed in the gutter."

Nash continued to play peacemaker during his interview.

"I mean you've got to understand, Neil Young knows what we bring to his music," he said. "He's not a fool. He's just a little upset right now. And I understand it. You know, he's going through personal problems with his wife, Pegi. They're getting divorced. You know, he's found true love that he says with Daryl Hannah perhaps. And the ways of the heart are mysterious and I can only wish both Pegi and Neil and Daryl the very, very best with their life. Let's get on with it and let's see what happens."

Young talked to Howard Stern briefly about Crosby last month saying the relationship could have been mended, but that time had passed.
