Anybody heard what got him?

RIP Jimmy

Calm winds and fair seas

Dang. That sucks.

I was never into his music but I could appreciate his talent. Saw him at oak mountain back in the early 90s and it was probably my least favorite concert of all time. Just not into him. But I’d never seen a crowd more into an artist and they were having the time of their lives and I could enjoy that!

And man, what a brand!! That guy took a song and turned it into a lifestyle. Good for him. He will be missed by millions. RIP.

I haven’t seen anything yet.
As Skinny said, he was in the hospital late last year and had to cancel some shows since then due to health problems.
As others have said, he wrote and sang about a lifestyle that a lot of us can relate to, at least the being around the ocean and water parts.
And he was very successful. His net worth is stated to be 1 billion dollars. No bad for a pirate 🏴‍☠️

I met Jimmy in '81 in Panama City, Fl. while I was in the USCG. I was sitting in a bar with some shipmates when in walks a guy that looked just like Jimmy Buffet. As he walked by our table, I said "Jimmy, sit down and have a beer." I didn't actually think it was Jimmy Buffet, but I was fairly lit and being friendly. He sat down for a beer from our pitcher, and had been there about 10 minutes or so before it finally got through the alcohol fog that this really WAS Jimmy Buffet! After that, whenever we pulled in anywhere he could get to, he always came drinking with us...he said he liked us because we only made him buy when it was his turn. Pretty sure we also got kicked out of every place we ever went with him...even his own place! LOL Good times. Haven't seen or talked to him since the early 90's...RIP, Jimmy, fair winds and following seas.

Been a fan since I was ten. RIP Jimmy

RIP

Articles on interweb said he died peacefully in his bed with his family around him and music going. No idea what the culpret was

Skin cancer that turned into lymphoma is what’s being reported

8:57 AM PT -- Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Jimmy was diagnosed with skin cancer 4 years ago that turned into lymphoma, and we're told that was the cause of death. As one close friend put it, "He lived his life in the sun, literally and figuratively." Jimmy began receiving hospice care last Monday and there was an outpouring of love from friends and family. We're told a week ago Sir Paul McCartney came to Jimmy's house and sang to Jimmy's family.

“Never been west of New Orleans, or east of Pensacola, only contact with the outside world was an RCA Victrola”

I was never a huge Buffett fan, but my dad had A1A and Changes in Latitudes in his vinyl collection, that I really took a liking to. Incredible songwriter.

There's a woman to blame.. but I know ...it's my own damn fault.... RIP Jimmy....

Short story... I was driving down the express beach route headed to the gulf with my nephew when I saw a bill board sign that read LULU's Buffet seafood .... SO I call the place as I'm driving down the express.... I ask what's it cost and when do they open.... what does what cost the young lady says... I says the buffet.... she says we don't do a buffet.... I said look honey I just read it on the sign... it says Buffet..... she says that's LULU , Jimmy Buffets wife ....

I drove up to Evergreen and back today and listened to Margaritaville on Sirius the whole time. He was a heck of a songwriter. What a life. RIP Jimmy

LULU is his sister.

God's own drunk, is one of my favorites . Rip

Yep! His Crazy Sista! Have eaten there numerous times.

I've heard on the some weekends Jimmy would just show up and get on stage and play.

Made enough money to buy Miami but pissed it away some how.

If I had a choice to buy Miami or piss it away, I'd start unzipping and letting it fly.

I liked him, didn't care for his music but my in-laws are big fans.

Why don't we get drunk and .............

A fun concert to go to.
