David Crosby selling his catalogue to pay the mortgage and care for his family

David Crosby has announced plans to sell off songs from his songwriting catalogue, days after Bob Dylan sold his own for $300 million, Exclaim reports. "I can't work…and streaming stole my record money," he wrote on Twitter - "I have a family and a mortgage and I have to take care of them so it's my only option". His fans were surprised Crosby wasn't worth millions ("I am not"), and he couldn't make money any other way - to which Crosby reiterated - "streaming does not pay us for records and COVID has shut down all work live… is that clear enough for you?".
