Here’s the latest I can confirm about Scott McKenzie:
- Scott McKenzie (1950s–2012) is best known for the 1967 hit “San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair)”.[9]
- He passed away in August 2012 in Los Angeles after battling Guillain-Barré Syndrome, at age 73.[1][5]
- Coverage at the time described him as “San Francisco’s voice” and noted the song as a counterculture anthem of the 1960s Summer of Love.[3][9]
If you’d like, I can search for more recent mentions or obituaries, but note that the most recent widely reported coverage remains from older archival sources.
