Graham Nash says David Crosby is doing much better

David Crosby was dealing with some health issues earlier this year, which caused two tours to be postponed, but he's doing much better now. That's the word from Graham Nash, who has been Crosby's friend and musical partner for almost 40 years. The exact nature of Crosby's problems were never explained, but Nash told us that it was a shoulder problem more common to pitchers and quarterbacks than rock stars: "It was a bone spur that was ripping into his rotator cuff and causing him a tremendous amount of pain. He wasn't able to sleep, he was taking pain killers, you know, just to deal with the pain, and even that situation worried David a lot, because he admits he's got an addictive personality, and he just didn't want to go down that road of being addicted to painkillers."

Crosby has since had surgery to deal with the issue, and Nash said his old friend is doing "remarkably well."

Now that he's better, the shows have been rescheduled. The U.S. dates for Crosby-Nash that were supposed to happen from mid-March to mid-April have been pushed back to October, while the Crosby, Stills & Nash gigs in Australia and New Zealand that would have run from February 17th to March 4th will now begin November 27th and run to December 15th.
