I believe Crosby said last year that he thought he only had a couple of years left to live. He's had a bevy of health issues (he abused drugs and alcohol for years) including hepatitis C, a liver transplant in 1994, and he also has type 2 diabetes. I don't think he should be removed from the Deathlist if he makes it to 2021. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He has really severe heart problems and the word last summer was he likely had 2 years left in him before his heart failed entirely. Always hard to tell with hearts exactly but yeah, he's not a well man. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a pretty pass when you elicit howls of twitterrage for the perfectly reasonable response of 'meh' when asked about the merits of EVH. I'd have been less charitable* than Dave, who would probably (and hopefully) enjoy both VH's and his own threads. * The best I could manage would be something along the lines of "he could sure fit a lot of notes into a short period of time". But after all, as Plastic Paddy sagely pointed out, I am a moron with a tin ear. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lets look at his other tweet for a tad more context... ''Hendrix changed the world of guitar. Nobody else really ...look I get it ..many of you loved Van Halen ....and the one time I met he was nice ....and he was talented ...meh to me means I don’t care that much ....and I don’t ...doesn’t mean he wasn’t good ,he was but not for me '' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually, hadn't bothered to read what he posted so it's a fair comment. Clearly incendiary to some, mind. Crosby's always had a painfully honest streak to the point he sometimes says things that cost him. His opinions on Neil Young leaving his second wife for Darryl Hannah - for example - were so frankly expressed that you can likely rule out any late late reunion for CSNY. He also publicly slagged off The Eagles in a documentary with the phrase, "They take no risks, ever" which - apparently - pissed off the ones who considered themselves risk takers in an artistic sense. Bit harsh his comment IMHO and - apart from anything else - surely from one conspicuous drug casualty to another he's got to have respect for Joe Walsh's ability to survive his drug excesses! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
