I am CRUSHED right now. Absolutely DEVASTATED! I turned 42yrs old the day after Peters 77th birthday. I was introduced to The Monkees at the age of 8yrs by my father watching re-runs. I was hooked immediately and have been a proud "Monkee Junkee" for 34 years. I'm so very thankful that I was able to see them in concert before even the passing of Davy Jones. R.I.P Peter Tork and my heart goes out to his family and to all those who loved him
The Monkees belong in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. So what if they were a TV band. They had more fans, were more iconic, outsold and had more hits than most acts that are already in the Hall.
You miss the point, George. As Torkee was quoted, they WEREN'T a band..they were an entertainment operation! None of them were accomplished musicians. Mike wrote a couple decent songs and Micky and, to a lesser degree, Davy could sing..but HALL OF FAME?? Get TF out of here.
So many of late...my childhood and adolescent years are dying away rapidly. RIP Peter...It was a lot of fun...while it lasted...The clock stops for no one...sigh...
I don't care what anybody says. Peter tork and the Monkees rocked the sixties better than any other American band. Regardless of how they were formed. They stayed true to who they were they gave us countless hours of joy and love
I have so many Monkees songs on my phone and love them. I consider Micky Dolenz to be one of the best pop vocalists ever. They were a great group of characters. RIP Peter Tork.
Ouch! Yet another hit, right in the childhood. This getting old stuff is for the birds. My grandma used to say the worst part of aging is watching everything you loved die. She wasn't kidding. I'll admit it, a tear or three comes when my faves die, and Peter got three. RIP.
Sung all there songs in the late 60's i was taking Guitar lesson after school i was 12... I could play Im not your stepping stone and im believer not miss a beat ... RIP And thank you ...
Peter Tork was visably aging the last few years. You could hear it in his voice where he started to sound like an old man. Its shocking as you grow over 60 like me and remember these guys in their prime and its like overnight and these people are elderly. Time is a tricky thing and young people have no idea how fast it goes.
Damn, how very true. I'm also in that age group. We're losing way too many good ppl. I noticed Peter was rapidly aging...never dreamed it was cancer tho. He'll be missed.
I agree...the Monkees are forever frozen in our memories as young...when I saw them in the 90s on tour, I genuinely thought Mickey Dolenz was going to sing "we're the old generation..and we've got something to say"....of course he didn't...I was very shocked at Davey Jones's passing as he just was so youthful looking....and yes, when did we get old all of a sudden?
Peter was a very talented musician I wish I had met him personally. He will be remembered & missed I'm sure ., Monkees fans around will feel this deeply. RIP Peter
I remember them very well but I watched the reruns of them in the 70's I was very young and I would always sing to their songs and enjoyed their sense of humor my mom the one who got me started watching them , God bless to Davy Jones and now Peter Tork may they rest in peace, I am 47 I hate seeing people that I loved or enjoying watching or listening to they are dying off dropping like flies I hate getting old God bless the dead ❗️😥😟🎹📺✝️
RIP Pete! As a child of the 60's I can honestly say, you were my first crush! I defied my parent's rule about not leaving the supper table until everyone was finished. I had to watch the Monkees.
Yes, 7:30 on Monday nights. I would usually stay for dinner at my friend's house that night so we could watch the show together. Her family had one of those big color TV/stereo combo units (which, at that time, cost a small fortune, but today wouldn't even scratch the surface of the price for a new IPhone), and it was quite the treat watching them in color, as my family could only afford a black and white set. Used to bring my Monkees albums over to her house to play them on that stereo unit. The best times for two 11 year old girls who were just crazy about the Monkees. My heart is broken today, as it was 7 years ago when Davy died, as another part of my 60's childhood (which was THE BEST) is, again, gone.
They actually had an album ranked # 1 on Billboard ahead of the Beatles ranked # 2. Only for one month but that was still amazing. Great songs. I'm going to listen to some but it will probably make me cry. Not ashamed of that.
I saw Davy Jones at the Wolfs Den a year before he passed away. He looked great on stage along with his daughter. A few years later Saw The Monkees, Micky and Peter. Sounded great. Later on after the show i met Micky at the bar Americana. We chatted for 10 minutes and said thanks for the music and memories . Peter RIP. I'm 70 now, lived through all the good music that was created in the 60's and early 70's. dam , there all leaving the stage ! Maybe someday we will meet you all again...
RIP Peter Tork...You will be missed! I still listen to the Monkees, have always loved them. As a kid I was glued to their TV show...Sad that he's passed, poor guy, looks like he suffered for years from a rare form of cancer...
I am saden by the news of Peter Tork passing. I have been a fan of The Monkees since I was 14 yrs old. I remember watching every show on Mondays at 7:00 pm on channel NBC-4 never missed a single show not even the reruns. My friend and I used to write fan letters to Tiger Beat magazine. I had posters of The Monkees all over my bedroom walls(with DAVY JONES being my favorite) . I had also bought every single record they made. Finally seeing them in concert. I will miss Peter Tork a lot.R.l.P. Peter.
Dear lovable,funny,multi-talented Peter. Shocked &saddened to hear of his passing. Had to play my favorite song Shades of Gray(crying as I write this) with Davy & Peter. A song so ahead off it's time,poignant & now so sad. A piece of my childhood,now a dear memory. Say hello to the Manchester Cowboy when you see him for me.
My first love. I know and enjoy all their music. Great memories. Their spirits live on, I will get to meet them. God bless those who love and miss them.
Peter Tork played eight different instruments, and he played them all well. He was by far the best musician in the Monkees. RIP Peter, you will be missed.
@jasona9 I’m the biggest Nesmith fan and he himself said in Rolling Stone after Davy passed that “Peter is a better musician than me by an order of magnitude.”
Just now learning of this. Another sad day for what has been, if not my favorite band, at least one I've listened to more than any other I do believe. RIP Peter.
Today I turned 60, I was 7 years old when The Monkees appeared, they made my childhood happy, beautiful memories with my parents and brothers. I will never forget summers on the beach and Christmas listening to them. Songs like Shades of Gray and Some time in the morning will forever be in my memory of a beautiful and lovely time,Thanks Peter.
The Monkees was the first concert I ever attended. I was 10 yrs old. It was in Public Hall in Cleveland. I adored the concert and their TV show. R.I.P Peter xoxoxo thank you!
I’m 38 now but 20 years ago I was a big Monkees fan, i used to watch their tv program on the Nickelodeon channel here in the U.K. I still love their music. Peter was always my favourite 😢
I count myself so lucky to have seen him and Micky Dolenz here in Dallas. I almost didn't get to. Rock n' Roll Heaven's hell of a band just got a new bass player. Rest in peace Peter.
RIP damn I love the Monkees. These next 10 years will be hard for fans of music all around. So many legends will probably not be here anymore, but you know the music will live on forever! ☺
Jesse Diaz Totally agree with your comments. The legends are leaving us, and we are soon to join them. Daydream believers all of us. It was a great time to be alive.
Grew up watching reruns of the monkees in the 80s and 90s. Loved them. Also loved that 3 of them turned up on boy meets world during the 90s. They were what they were, but I loved them. RIP Peter💛
It's so sad. First Dave, now him. I know we all gonna die, but to certain people I wish it would never happen. God be with you. And thank you for the joy and music you gave us.😥
I loved the Monkees! We watched their shows, listened to their music! Thank you Monkees for being in our lives and being part of my life!! Rest in peace Peter! 💖
I actually saw Peter Tork when he was doing small shows in bars. I grew up watching the Monkees. He was a humble and very funny guy, who could laugh at himself and laugh with others. God bless family, friends, and fans. We will miss him and see him when we get to heaven.
I was 6 when the Monkees show came on. I have great memories of sitting in the living room with my Dad. I don't know if my Dad was ever a fan but we always watched the Monkees and Batman and Combat. I was never a fan of Combat but I loved being with my Dad. TV shows like the Monkees are a part of my youth.
Peter and the rest of the band the Monkees were a real group of singers and musicians that have gotten a bad rap. I remember watching their show on TV and liking their music. "Headquarters" came out and was climbing the charts and was headed for best LP of the year, bur the Beatles came out with Sgt Pepper and the rest is history. Pete, and Davey are gone but the memory of them will live on in their music. Thanks guys for the music.
Nothing quite reminds us of our own mortality as the passing of our entertainment "idols" from our childhood. I had a friend growing up who was the worlds biggest Monkee fan as a kid, had everything possible with a Monkee logo for a kid to get in a small midwestern town. He died just a few hours after Davy which was both sad and somehow fitting. It's good to hear others of my age group talking about growing up with their music and lighthearted attitude.
Thank you Pete up in heaven now together again with Davy Jones ! To both of you thank you for giving me a very wonderful time while seeing the Monkees episodes in the sixties as a a ten year old kid ! R.I.P my friends from the Monkees ! You were the best .
Oh man!!! This is sooo sad. I remember watching their show. I never missed it. I hope that Peter and Davey met up right away. Have to keep telling myself that we are all getting older and one by one the really cool guys from the really good bands are dying off. We might have a few people out there that can make music but not many good ones. Thank God we lived in the best of times. ✌🏻❤
Seems like yesterday when i tuned in our black and white tube TV and there they were. The Monkess first show. Oh the time and gravity. RIP Peter now you can monkee around with Davey up in a better place.
Rest in peace Peter, no more pain now you are free from cancer. My sympathy to his friends and relatives. I met him some years ago. He chatted easily and signed. Thank you for that special memory.
“A Little Bit Me, a Little Bit You” was also written by Neil Diamond. Compare it to his early Bang hits, and it’s obvious. Thanks for remembering Tork. Your work is most appreciated!
Interesting juncture--- in 2004, I was living on a sailboat docked at Marina del Rey CA, and decided to walk up to the nearest restaurant/ lounge with live music. Turns out the band was one Peter played guitar in , locally. After their first break,I went up and shook Pete's hand and chatted for a minute. Very humble, down-to- earth gentleman.What an iconic " happenstance" of a blessing.lol. The fact that I'd actually meet one of those Monkees I listened to as child..😌..awesome. God rest his soul!
Peter came to our small town and played with his band a few years back. Was a pleasure to see him play and he was kind enough to chat between sets. Carry on kind Sir!
The world of rock 'n' roll has lost a true music icon. I watched "Hey, hey we're the Monkees" religiously every Saturday morning. May Peter's family and friends be blessed in their time of loss. RIP Peter.
Rest In Peace Peter. : ( You are a multitalented musician. With a bit of comedy as well. I love the music and watching the tv shows brings memories. Angie St. Louis, Missouri
Speaking for myself, it is not so much who wrote the lyrics or even the melody, it is who got the songs on the radio and into our hearts. Peter Tork and the Momkees!
How can anyone not love The Monkees as a group but also individually, too? Peter - so talented, friendly, able to laugh a lot, a good actor - convincing as "the dumb one" of the band, yet probably the smartest one in the band. Check out his Shoe Suede Blues Band = excellent. I saw him in concert. He said, "Take all the videos and pictures you want and be sure to post them on youtube so they will be there when I'm gone".....RIP Peter. You will be missed. Send our love to Davy. ♡
I'm getting these flashbacks to an earlier day when life was so much more innocent. I was a grammar schooler when The Monkees had their TV sitcom when the band and show were a major part of my life. A few years ago I passed an old establishment out of my way in the middle of nowhere in northern NJ USA that had a sign in front announcing an appearance by Peter Tork. Never got there. Peter will be missed, as well as Davy, of course. Peace.
Thank you for recognizing this incredible talent. He'll be sorely missed.
RIP. I'm old enough that I watched the Monkees every Saturday, loved the show!
RIP Peter Tork you were well loved by many young boys and girls in the 1960's. I certainly loved the Monkees.
I am CRUSHED right now. Absolutely DEVASTATED! I turned 42yrs old the day after Peters 77th birthday. I was introduced to The Monkees at the age of 8yrs by my father watching re-runs.

Same. I'm close to your age, and watched the Monkees reruns on Nickelodeon in the mid/late 1980s.
The Monkees belong in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. So what if they were a TV band. They had more fans, were more iconic, outsold and had more hits than most acts that are already in the Hall.
I think you've managed to set the bar very low for the Hall of Fame.
You miss the point, George. As Torkee was quoted, they WEREN'T a band..they were an entertainment operation! None of them were accomplished musicians. Mike wrote a couple decent songs and Micky and, to a lesser degree, Davy could sing..but HALL OF FAME?? Get TF out of here.
Jann rules...ugh. I agree with you.
Peter lived near me. We talked once or twice and he helped me out with a personal issue. Thanks for your support and God bless! You'll be missed.
The old rockers are dieing off, this is making me feel old. RIP
The ones you love,pass.The ones you can do without go on for ever.Miss u Davy,Peter ❤️ & Mike.
So many of late...my childhood and adolescent years are dying away rapidly. RIP Peter...It was a lot of fun...while it lasted...The clock stops for no one...sigh...
RIP Peter thanks for the memories and great music , I never missed an episode of The Monkees ahhh the 60s what a blast!
I don't care what anybody says. Peter tork and the Monkees rocked the sixties better than any other American band. Regardless of how they were formed. They stayed true to who they were they gave us countless hours of joy and love
Geez, you’re out of your mind
may god BLESS you. the band and show were a huge part of my childhood. RIP.
Peter was a great musician & actor, very talented, rest in peace eternally in Heaven
I have so many Monkees songs on my phone and love them. I consider Micky Dolenz to be one of the best pop vocalists ever. They were a great group of characters. RIP Peter Tork.
Still have their albums! I had a huge crush on Peter! I loved the group!
Ouch! Yet another hit, right in the childhood. This getting old stuff is for the birds. My grandma used to say the worst part of aging is watching everything you loved die. She wasn't kidding. I'll admit it, a tear or three comes when my faves die, and Peter got three. RIP.

His voice changed because of the tongue surgery
Damn, how very true. I'm also in that age group. We're losing way too many good ppl. I noticed Peter was rapidly aging...never dreamed it was cancer tho. He'll be missed.
*FWIW:* It's been 50 years since Woodstock... Us Boomers are steadily becoming either Stardust or Fertilizer, (depending on your outlook)... LOL O =

Dear Vince,
Try living it.
Peter was a very talented musician I wish I had met him personally. He will be remembered & missed I'm sure ., Monkees fans around will feel this deeply. RIP Peter
I loved the MONKEES. They are all great people. Rest in Peace.
Goodbye Peter. Thank you for all the good music and memories.
I loved that show! Rest in Peace, Peter.
I remember when I went up to the local record store to buy their albums. I was in grade school at the time. I still have them.
RIP Peter. One of my favorite childhood shows. Lighthearted and silly. Just what a young girl could relate to.
I remember them very well but I watched the reruns of them in the 70's I was very young and I would always sing to their songs and enjoyed their sense of humor my mom the one who got me started watching them , God bless to Davy Jones and now Peter Tork may they rest in peace, I am 47 I hate seeing people that I loved or enjoying watching or listening to they are dying off dropping like flies I hate getting old God bless the dead ❗️😥😟🎹📺✝️
I met him while hitch hiking in the bay area. He seemed to be a real nice fellow. RIP Peter Tork.

My first love. I know and enjoy all their music. Great memories.
Their spirits live on, I will get to meet them. God bless those who love and miss them.

RIP Peter Tork, and thank you for all the memories ! You will not be forgotten !
Thank you Peter for making your mark on my childhood with your fellow Monkees- you guys were great !!
I loved the Monkees as a kid and Peter was my favourite. RIP Peter. Thank you for all the laughs.
Thank you for helping to make my childhood fun and enjoyable. RIP, Peter.
I ALWAYS loved Peter the best I was in Kindergarten. I LOVED BOTH THE MONKEES AND THE BEATLES
Rest in peace Peter, I loved the Monkees! They were a big part of my childhood growing up
Rest In Peace Peter
Thanks for the tribute
RIP Peter Tork. Thank you for all the wonderful music, and laughter. 😢
I listened to Shades of Grey yesterday...still one of the most beautiful ballads ever. Soar free blessed spirit and tell Davy we miss him too

Awww! Peter- R.I.P
I loved you when I was 11! I still remember ALL the songs & had ALL the albums!
RIP damn I love the Monkees. These next 10 years will be hard for fans of music all around.
So many legends will probably not be here anymore, but you know the music will live on forever! ☺

Totally agree with your comments.
The legends are leaving us, and we are soon to join them.
Daydream believers all of us.
It was a great time to be alive.
Grew up watching reruns of the monkees in the 80s and 90s. Loved them. Also loved that 3 of them turned up on boy meets world during the 90s. They were what they were, but I loved them. RIP Peter💛
He and Davy lived to see their senior years. Although it is sad to lose such talented artists.
As long as those of us that loved the Monkees then and now the music will keep on playing. RIP Peter Tork...
R. I. P. Peter Tork you and Davey Jones are still a believer in heaven
He always played the slapstick one. Peter had a beautiful voice and was quite an asset to the monkees. We will miss him but he is at peace now
It's so sad. First Dave, now him. I know we all gonna die, but to certain people I wish it would never happen. God be with you. And thank you for the joy and music you gave us.😥
I've listened to them since I was three...saw him twice in concerts; the late 80s I knew he was old but it's still a shock...rest in peace Pete
I loved the Monkees! We watched their shows, listened to their music! Thank you Monkees for being in our lives and being part of my life!! Rest in peace Peter! 💖
I actually saw Peter Tork when he was doing small shows in bars. I grew up watching the Monkees. He was a humble and very funny guy, who could laugh at himself and laugh with others. God bless family, friends, and fans. We will miss him and see him when we get to heaven.
Thank u Peter Tork for your contribution in the Monkees .
I was 6 when the Monkees show came on. I have great memories of sitting in the living room with my Dad. I don't know if my Dad was ever a fan but we always watched the Monkees and Batman and Combat. I was never a fan of Combat but I loved being with my Dad. TV shows like the Monkees are a part of my youth.
Peter and the rest of the band the Monkees were a real group of singers and musicians that have gotten a bad rap. I remember watching their show on TV and liking their music.

Pete, and Davey are gone but the memory of them will live on in their music. Thanks guys for the music.
No, jack, they were not a real group. Peter even said so..if you paid attention.
Nothing quite reminds us of our own mortality as the passing of our entertainment "idols" from our childhood. I had a friend growing up who was the worlds biggest Monkee fan as a kid, had everything possible with a Monkee logo for a kid to get in a small midwestern town. He died just a few hours after Davy which was both sad and somehow fitting. It's good to hear others of my age group talking about growing up with their music and lighthearted attitude.
Peter Tork will be missed. He was making great music right up until final years of his life.
Lol
Good memories. Grew up listening and watching the show. Thank you Peter for sharing your talents with us. Rest well.❤️
Loved the Monkees in their day and the series
Another great music person from my generation is gone. Rip
Thank you Pete up in heaven now together again with Davy Jones ! To both of you thank you for giving me a very wonderful time while seeing the Monkees episodes in the sixties as a a ten year old kid ! R.I.P my friends from the Monkees ! You were the best .
Im 60 now. The Monkees tv show was a lot of fun back in the day. Slapstick comedy. RIP Peter...
The Monkees Saturday morning TV show was alot of fun to watch.
THANK U FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS TO MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT AND JUST BEING A PART OF OUR LIVES GOD BLESS
there goes another peice of my past.....i was 13 years old when they came into my life. My first loves!!! RIP peter....love you xxx
I was a 7 year old when there show came on TV
Oh man!!! This is sooo sad. I remember watching their show. I never missed it. I hope that Peter and Davey met up right away. Have to keep telling myself that we are all getting older and one by one the really cool guys from the really good bands are dying off. We might have a few people out there that can make music but not many good ones. Thank God we lived in the best of times. ✌🏻❤
Good memories in a life that didn't have many. Tku.
I was on here looking up their music when it popped up that he passed. I´m so struck by the news. RIP Peter. So sad.
Rest in Peace Peter!
I had such a crush on you. I'm sorry to hear of your passing.
Sincere sympathy to his family at this sad time. 💞
Me too! I guess I was just about 9 to 10 back then!
RIP my friend thanks for the memories I was born in 62 so I grew up listening you guys I always enjoyed it thank you!
RIP PETER I LOVED THE MONKEES YOU AND Dave will be missed but not forgotten
piece on your final journey Pete . thanks for the great times. GOODBYE OLD FRIEND
Seems like yesterday when i tuned in our black and white tube TV and there they were. The Monkess first show. Oh the time and gravity. RIP Peter now you can monkee around with Davey up in a better place.
Rest in peace Peter, no more pain now you are free from cancer. My sympathy to his friends and relatives. I met him some years ago. He chatted easily and signed. Thank you for that special memory.
From CANADA with LOVE and RIP ,Thanks for the Memories ⚘⚘⚘⚘🇨🇦⚘⚘⚘⚘
Always loved him, and the boy's, since 1966. I was 7. Thanks for the memories.
“A Little Bit Me, a Little Bit You” was also written by Neil Diamond. Compare it to his early Bang hits, and it’s obvious.
Thanks for remembering Tork. Your work is most appreciated!
Part of my childhood has died! Love ❤️ u. Thanks for all the silly giggles and thanks for the tunes.
Interesting juncture--- in 2004, I was living on a sailboat docked at Marina del Rey CA, and decided to walk up to the nearest restaurant/ lounge with live music.
Turns out the band was one Peter played guitar in , locally.
After their first break,I went up and shook Pete's hand and chatted for a minute. Very humble, down-to- earth gentleman.What an iconic " happenstance" of a blessing.lol.
The fact that I'd actually meet one of those Monkees I listened to as child..😌..awesome.
God rest his soul!
Peter came to our small town and played with his band a few years back. Was a pleasure to see him play and he was kind enough to chat between sets. Carry on kind Sir!
As a child in the 60's, your music kindled my soul. RIP 💝
The world of rock 'n' roll has lost a true music icon. I watched "Hey, hey we're the Monkees" religiously every Saturday morning. May Peter's family and friends be blessed in their time of loss. RIP Peter.
Rest In Peace Peter. : (
You are a multitalented musician.
With a bit of comedy as well.
I love the music and watching the tv shows brings memories.

WERE. You WERE a multi-talented musician.
If you believe your soul lives on. It’s present not past.
Speaking for myself, it is not so much who wrote the lyrics or even the melody, it is who got the songs on the radio and into our hearts. Peter Tork and the Momkees!
How can anyone not love The Monkees as a group but also individually, too? Peter - so talented, friendly, able to laugh a lot, a good actor - convincing as "the dumb one" of the band, yet probably the smartest one in the band. Check out his Shoe Suede Blues Band = excellent. I saw him in concert. He said, "Take all the videos and pictures you want and be sure to post them on youtube so they will be there when I'm gone".....RIP Peter. You will be missed. Send our love to Davy. ♡
Awwww so Peter. I wish I could've met him.
I'm getting these flashbacks to an earlier day when life was so much more innocent. I was a grammar schooler when The Monkees had their TV sitcom when the band and show were a major part of my life. A few years ago I passed an old establishment out of my way in the middle of nowhere in northern NJ USA that had a sign in front announcing an appearance by Peter Tork. Never got there. Peter will be missed, as well as Davy, of course. Peace.
