Jimmy Buffett sadly died at the age of 76 on Friday, according to his official website. The legendary “Margaritaville” singer “passed away peacefully on the night of September 1st surrounded by his family, friends, music and dogs,” a statement on the homepage of the site reads. “He lived his life like a song till the very last breath and will be missed beyond measure by so many.”
There was no cause of death released, but Jimmy’s passing comes after he was hospitalized for a short time in May. “I had to stop in Boston for a check-up but wound up back in the hospital to address some issues that needed immediate attention,” he told his followers in a social media post, which can be seen below, at the time.
