===After Ratt===
Crosby eventually left Ratt. Prior to leaving, Crosby worked as a producer for metal band [[Lillian Axe]].

In a June 1999 interview for a Ratt episode of VH1's ''[[Behind the Music]]'', Crosby talked about how drug addiction and his HIV status changed his life. "What has drug addiction done for me?" he asked. "It's cost me my career, my fortune, basically my sex life when I found out I was HIV positive."<ref name=MTV/>

In 2001, Crosby publicly stated that he had AIDS and had been HIV-positive since 1994. He had also been in and out of the hospital for eight years dealing with back problems and health issues associated with HIV. To occupy his time he became a [[Little League]] coach, and also worked on a guitar fan/collector project, which was to create a limited-edition run of Jackson King V "Big Red" replica guitars.

Crosby also attempted various musical projects, first (post-Ratt) re-uniting with Perry McCarty, Krys Baratto, Dino Guerrero and Mark Lewis as an updated version of Secret Service, a moniker used by McCarty and Crosby previously for their pre-Ratt San Diego band. Later moving to El Paso in 1996, he briefly played with the Country/Western group War Party. One of his last projects was with former collaborator and ex-Ratt bassist [[Juan Croucier]].
