David Crosby left an inspiring party advice years before his death.

In 2021, Crosby responded to a reader who asked him about the things he hoped for in his generation. For what it's worth, the musician notably said he wanted his generation to be full of "peace, love, and understanding."

His answer at that time became heartfelt advice for everyone. According to the "Almost Cut My Hair" hitmaker, he asked himself the same thing.

"I'm an idealist. I wanted to think that we could do better. I think there is an innate goodness in human beings and that it's natural for them to head that way," he said, per Ultimate Classic Rock and Culture.

The column also highlighted his statement about President Joe Biden after a reader expressed their dissatisfaction with the current POTUS. Crosby told everyone that Biden is "trying his best."

Crosby then continued his advice, positively making everyone understand that human beings are trying to evolve. While he had no idea whether the public would make it, he chose to believe because he needed to do so.

In the latter part of the interview, he told everyone not to lose their idealism and "keep trying" to prevent anything from getting worse.

David Crosby's death was announced by his family, saying that the 81-year-old died after a long illness.

David Crosby Also Struggled Before His Death

At the time of his death, David Crosby's net worth was around $10 million. His earnings mostly came from his career as a musician, but he also faced a glitch due to his legal battles.

In 1985, he spent jail time for possession of heroin and cocaine. He was arrested in the same year for drunken driving, possession of a concealed pistol and drug paraphernalia, and a hit-and-run driving accident.

The history repeated itself in 2004 when Crosby received weapon and drug-related charges.

Despite his troubles, Crosby had a fruitful career as a member of The Byrds and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.

Among his hit albums with the bands include "Crosby, Stills, & Nash," "Daylight Again," "Allies," "Looking Forward," "American Dream," "The Notorious Byrd Brothers," "Ballad of Easy Rider," "Farther Along," "Byrds," "Mr. Tambourine Man," "Turn! Turn! Turn!" and "Fifth Dimension."

In 1971, he started his solo career and marked his debut with "If I Could Only Remember My Name," which was considered one of the best Albums by different publications.
