I only got a few years left. You know that. I don\u2019t want to spend them sitting on my butt. I got a lot of music in me still, and I\u2019m trying really hard to make music every minute I fucking can, because it\u2019s the one place I can contribute.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Crosby\u2019s precarious financial situation makes this postponement particularly difficult. \u201cI\u2019m sitting here, watching the last bits of cash that I\u2019ve got dribble out, and I don\u2019t have any savings,\u201d he said. \u201cSo it\u2019s not looking good.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" type=\"text\/html\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CM3uv6JpnKo?version=3&amp;enablejsapi=1&amp;origin=https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com&amp;rel=1&amp;fs=1&amp;autohide=2&amp;showsearch=0&amp;showinfo=1&amp;iv_load_policy=1&amp;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\">[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Things are so dire that he might be forced to sell his guitars. \u201cOnce the guitars are gone, we lose the house,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ve lived here for 21, 22 years. It\u2019s not big and impressive. It\u2019s just a small, really sweet, adobe house, tile roof, in the middle of cattle country. It\u2019s really wide open here. It\u2019s a wonderful place to live. I want to die here. I don\u2019t want to have to leave.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He is urging fans to hold onto their tickets since they\u2019ll be valid for the new dates once they are announced. \u201cEveryone keep washing your hands,\u201d he wrote, \u201cobserve social distancing, cough into your elbows and be safe!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Crosby joins a long list of artists that were forced to postpone or cancel their tours because of the pandemic. Some have pushed their dates to the fall, while others bumped them to 2021. The cold reality is that nobody knows when mass public events like concerts will be safe and viable again.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pmc-contextual-player\">\n<h3>Popular on Rolling Stone<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/david-crosby-postpones-summer-tour-due-to-covid-19-994870\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Rolling Stone<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>David Crosby has postponed his summer tour with the Sky Trails Band that was supposed to kick off May 14th at the Santa Barbara Bowl due to the COVID-19 pandemic. \u201cThe safety and wellbeing of the fans is our paramount concern and with this in mind, we had to make this decision,\u201d he said in [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[98],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-807164","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-music-news"},"acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-07-11 23:00:04","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"distributor_meta":false,"distributor_terms":false,"distributor_media":false,"distributor_original_site_name":"KSMT The Mountain","distributor_original_site_url":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/ksmt","push-errors":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/ksmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/807164","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/ksmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/ksmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/ksmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/ksmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=807164"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/ksmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/807164\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/ksmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=807164"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/ksmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=807164"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/ksmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=807164"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
