Jimmy Buffett, ‘Margaritaville’ Singer, Dead at 76

Jimmy Buffett, known for his beach bum soft rock music, has died. He was 76. 

“Jimmy passed away peacefully on the night of September 1st surrounded by his family, friends, music and dogs,” read a statement posted to the singer’s social media pages late Friday. “He lived his life like a song till the very last breath and will be missed beyond measure by so many.”
