(OPINION) David Crosby cracked a joke about heaven a day before he died. Early Wednesday morning, The Byrds and Crosby, Stills & Nash co-founder took to Twitter to joke that heaven is “overrated.”
“I heard the place is overrated….cloudy,” his tweet read in response to a screenshot of a Google search that asked, “can we go to heaven with tattoos.” The result of the search read, “People with tattoos will not go to heaven. People who drink alcohol will not go to heaven.
People who eat too much pork will also not go to heaven. Short people will not go to heaven.” Also on Wednesday, Crosby responded to a tweet that asked what the best Beatles song was for a rainy day, and he replied, “Rigby.” After the news of the 81-year-old’s death, some of his fellow bandmates shared statements with Fox News Digital.

The statement by Crosby, Stills & Nash member Graham Nash read: “It is with profound sadness that I learned that my friend David Crosby has passed. I know people tend to focus on how volatile our relationship has been at times, but what has always mattered to David and me more than anything was the pure joy of the music we created together, the sound we discovered with one another, and the deep friendship we shared over all these many long years.”
Nash’s statement continued: “David was fearless in life and in music. He leaves behind a tremendous void as far as sheer personality and talent in this world. He spoke his mind, his heart, and his passion through his beautiful music and leaves an incredible legacy. These are the things that matter most. My heart is truly with his wife, Jan, his son, Django, and all of the people he has touched in this world.” (SOURCE)
