Wolf is survived by his wife, Marielle Maragh of the Soul Sisters, their four children, his mother, and other relatives. Speaking to RJR News a few minutes ago, his brother-in-law, bass guitarist Danesh “Danny” Maragh, promised that both a posthumous album and a live album chronicling Chariot of Flames’ final tour, will be released by year’s end.
