DAVID CROSBY CONCERT CANCELED

David Crosby, the subject of arrest warrants issued last week in Texas, canceled his concert Saturday night at the Golden Bear in Huntington Beach.

“I guess he doesn’t feel safe playing, being a fugitive,” Golden Bear manager Kevin Kerby said Saturday. The show, which had been booked before the warrants were issued, was called off late Friday night when the club was notified that the veteran singer would not appear. To replace Crosby, the club held over the jazz-pop group Hiroshima for a second night.

Last week, Texas District Judge Pat McDonald issued arrest warrants for Crosby, 44, and revoked $15,000 in appeal bonds when he failed to appear at a bond revocation hearing as part of appeals he was pursuing on drugs and weapons convictions. In August, 1983, Crosby was sentenced to five years in prison for possession of cocaine and three years for carrying a handgun at a nightclub.

While awaiting the hearing in Texas, Crosby was arrested in Mill Valley on Oct. 23 for investigation of possession of a concealed pistol and narcotics paraphernalia as well as hit-and-run driving. He was released on those charges after posting a $5,000 bond. Crosby was sentenced last May to three years probation after being charged with driving with a suspended license and drunk driving. He was arrested in that case in Nov. 1984.

The agent who booked the show, David Scott, and Crosby’s attorney, David Vogelstein, could not be reached for comment. A representative of Crosslight management, which handles Crosby, Stills & Nash, said, “We do not handle Crosby as a solo artist and had nothing to do with those concerts.”
