Born in Blackpool, Lancashire, England, UK

Was nearly killed at Woodstock as the helicopter that was flying him in lost its tail rotor just as it was coming in for a landing. As a result the helicopter was forced to autorotate down the last 25 feet and make a hard landing. Luckilly, Nash wasn`t hurt and he was still able to perform.

When he started teaming up with David Crosby and Stephen Stills, a problem arose because Crosby and Stills were signed to Atlantic records and Nash, as a member of the Hollies, was signed to Epic. The problem was resolved when Atlantic "traded" Richie Furay to Epic for Nash.

Was a founding member of MUSE (Musicians United for Safe Energy).

The original singer and rhythm guitarist for the Hollies.

Left the Hollies because he wanted to write more challenging material. In fact, he quit the band after they announced they were going to do an album of Bob Dylan covers.

Had a long term love affair with singer Joni Mitchell. In fact, he wrote the song "Our House" about their relationship.

Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997 (as a member of Crosby, Stills and Nash).

Father of Jackson Nash

Spouse: Susan Sennett (4 May 1977 - present) 3 children
