Pete Seeger

American Folk singer and activist Pete Seeger has passed away at the age of 94.

Rest in Peace Pete. With a career that spans a barely believable nine decades, a hatful of hits including “If I Had a Hammer (The Hammer Song),” “Where Have All the Flowers Gone,” and “Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There Is a Season)” the single-handed popularisation of the five-string banjo in modern music and a rightful claim to having had a major hand in the 50s and 60s folk boom that brought the likes of Bob Dylan and Joan Baez to prominence, there can be few artists as influential as Pete Seeger.
