Just read this. Really sad. :-( Now, just Paul Stookey is left of the three.
Peter Yarrow, folk singer of Peter, Paul and Mary fame, dies at 86
Folk singer Peter Yarrow — writer of the timeless classic "Puff the Magic Dragon" and one-third of the legendary 1960s trio Peter, Paul and Mary — died Tuesday, a family representative said.
He was 86 and had been diagnosed with bladder cancer four years ago.
Yarrow died in New York City with loved ones by his side, publicist Ken Sunshine confirmed to NBC News.
“Our fearless dragon is tired and has entered the last chapter of his magnificent life. The world knows Peter Yarrow the iconic folk activist, but the human being behind the legend is every bit as generous, creative, passionate, playful, and wise as his lyrics suggest,” daughter Bethany Yarrow said in a statement.
