Peter Yarrow, known as part of the folk trio Peter, Paul and Mary, has died.

Yarrow passed away Tuesday in New York, according to publicist Ken Sunshine. The musician had spent the last four years battling bladder cancer.

"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," his daughter Bethany said in a statement.
