As far as Graham Nash is concerned, Crosby, Stills & Nash is totally over. 

"Right now, I don't want anything to do with [David] Crosby at all," Nash tells Billboard. "It's just that simple. In my world there will never, ever be a Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young record, and there will never be another Crosby, Stills & Nash record or show." 

The artist had even harsher words for his folk bandmate in an interview with Dutch magazine Lust for Life. Here's the translated version, according to Billboard:

"I don't like David Crosby right now. He's been awful for me the last two years, just f*cking awful. I've been there and saved his f*cking ass for 45 years, and he treated me like sh*t. You can't do that to me. You can do it for a day or so, until I think you're going to come around. When it goes on longer, and I keep getting nasty emails from him, I'm done. F*ck you. David has ripped the heart out of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young."

The folk supergroup Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young -- featuring Stephen Stills and Neil Young in addition to Crosby and Nash -- originally formed in the late 1960s. Its members have enjoyed successful solo careers while also uniting and reuniting in various configurations through the years, most famously as Crosby, Stills & Nash in the late '70s. The last Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young album, Looking Forward, was released in 1999.

The quartet's collaborations have always been marked by clashes. Neil Young echoed Nash's most recent sentiments about Crosby back in 2014, saying that Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young would "never tour again, ever" as a reformed group -- even though Young "love[s] Stephen Stills."

Crosby responded to Young's digs via Twitter. He was apparently unsurprised by these remarks, adding that Young is "very angry" with him. 

In his Billboard interview, Nash doesn't go into detail about what started his feud with Crosby. He does say, though, that he was letting his ex-bandmate "be who he is." 

"I let people play their hand in front of me, and I let him do it and then I make a decision," Nash says. 

He also reiterates that he's really, really over it. 

"The truth is, after being totally immersed in me and David and Stephen and Neil's music, I'm done," Nash says. "I've had 10 years of it. Leave me the f*ck alone. I need to concentrate on me now."

Nash's new solo album, This Path Tonight, will be released on April 15.
