I heard Heaven's overrated... cloudy': Iconoclast David Crosby's tongue-in-cheek parting gift to Twitter(SCREENSHOT)

 Rock legend David Crosby posted a poignant final tweet for his fans just a day before he died aged 81.



Crosby tweeted: 'I hear the place [heaven] is overrated... cloudy', in a tongue-in-cheek message just before he passed away. The tweet saw thousands of responses from fans remembering the musician after he died following a long illness. 



People who eat too much pork also will not go to heaven. Short people will not go to heaven', alongside the caption which joked: 'The deepest circle of hell is reserved for tattooed, bacon-loving alcoholic midgets.' 


Fans responded to the late singer's final tweet, with one saying: 'Hell of a tweet the day before you leave us Dave. RIP.'


Another said: 'I was smiling at this yesterday. And now his voice, his humor is gone. I suppose the positive is that the world almost lost him 40 years ago. 


'And he pulled through thanks to the love of his friends, to give us another 40 years of his music. Rest In Peace, David.'


One fan said: 'Your spot in rock heaven is waiting for you, David. 


'Say hi to John, George, Jimi, Janis, Keith, Jim, and all the others for us. We'll miss you.'


The singer-songwriter rose to fame in LA-based folk-rock group The Byrds, who he joined in 1964 alongside Roger McGuinn, Gene Clark, Chris Hillman and Michael Clarke. 


He collaborated on chart-topping hits including a cover of Bob Dylan's Mr Tambourine Man, which leapt to number one in the US singles chart, and Turn! Turn! Turn!.
