REBEAT News Roundup (February 29 – March 6)
Breaking news
According to a translation of his interview in the Dutch magazine Lust for Life, Graham Nash has said that Crosby, Stills & Nash will never reunite. He said:
“You asked me if there’s more of CSN? My answer is ‘no,’ and that’s very sad, because we’re pretty good. But I don’t like David Crosby right now. He’s been awful to me these last two years, just f—–g awful. […] You can’t do that to me. You can do it for a day or so, until I think you’re going to come round. But when it goes on longer, and I keep getting nasty emails from him, I’m done.”
Crosby is touring North America, as is Nash, who is promoting his latest album, This Path Tonight.
