I am sure that Brian Crosby is not forgotten to his family, but he is forgotten to Bing's loyal fans. Brian was 18-year-old grandson of Bing Crosby. He was killed shortly after Bing's death on October 14, 1977. Brian Patrick Crosby died on August 19, 1978. He died in a motorcycle crash in Beverly Hills after running a red light and being chased by a police car, according to authorities. He was the son of Phillip Crosby, one of the singers four children by his first marriage. Brian is buried right next to his father....
I reached out to his young half-brother Phil Crosby Jr, who did not really remember Brian, but he had this to say: "Yeah my theory or what I may have heard from my dad or someone in the family was that if he got caught high on anything one more time he would have been kicked off the football team. And that would have been the only way to disappoint my dad."
I would love to learn more about Brian and his short life. If you have any details let me know...
