Folk singer Pete Seeger dies aged 94

Pete Seeger, the banjo-picking troubadour who sang for migrant workers, college students and star-struck presidents in a career that introduced generations of Americans to their folk music heritage, has died at the age of 94.
Seeger’s grandson, Kitama Cahill-Jackson, said his grandfather died peacefully in his sleep at around 9.30pm last night in the New York Presbyterian Hospital, where he had been for six days. Family members were with him.
