Source: San Francisco Chronicle

David Crosby, who was scheduled to perform at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco on Thursday and Friday, has postponed all his California tour dates after undergoing emergency heart surgery.

On his doctor's recommendation, Crosby underwent a cardiac catheterization and angiogram Friday based on the results of a routine cardiac stress test that revealed that his left anterior coronary artery was 90 percent blocked.
