Jimmy Buffett, known for his beach bum soft rock music, died on Sept. 1, 2023. He was 76.
"Jimmy passed away peacefully on the night of Sept. 1st surrounded by his family, friends, music and dogs," read a statement posted to the singer's social media pages. "He lived his life like a song till the very last breath and will be missed beyond measure by so many."
Among his musical achievments, Buffett released "Margaritaville" on Feb. 14, 1977, and the song quickly became a cultural phenomena, encouraging fans to live a low-key lifestyle of "growing older, but not up."
