Jimmy Buffett: 76 Years Old
Jimmy Buffett, the singer-songwriter known for popularizing tropical rock music, passed away on September 1 after a prolonged battle with skin cancer. A statement on his website conveyed that Buffett had departed peacefully, surrounded by his family, friends, music, and dogs. His life was described as one that lived like a song until his last breath, and countless admirers will greatly miss him.
One of his signature songs, “Margaritaville,” spent 22 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 list and inspired generations of his fans, affectionately known as “Parrotheads,” to embrace the spirit of easy living. Upon hearing the news of his passing, Parrotheads paid tribute by gathering at Margaritaville restaurants established by Buffett and raising their glasses to honor the beloved beach bum musician.
