Renowned singer-songwriter, Jimmy Buffett, known for hits like “Margaritaville,” has passed away at the age of 76. The news was confirmed through a statement released on his official website and social media channels.
The statement revealed that Buffett peacefully passed away on the night of September 1st, surrounded by loved ones, his music, and his beloved dogs. It described his life as a song that resonated deeply with fans, and expressed the immense loss felt by many.
The announcement included a photo of Buffett, dressed casually and sitting on a boat, capturing his love for the beach and laid-back lifestyle.

While “Margaritaville” was his only major pop hit, Buffett’s music resonated with fans of all generations. His talent led to a successful business empire, making him one of America’s wealthiest celebrities.
Buffett began his career as a country singer and street performer in New Orleans, where he credited the city for shaping his musical journey. He believed that his success would not have been possible without the influence of New Orleans.
For decades, Buffett toured extensively and capitalized on his devoted fanbase, known as “Parrotheads,” to expand his brand. He ventured into merchandise, opened Margaritaville resorts and restaurants, and established a lifestyle brand. According to Forbes, his net worth exceeded a billion dollars, and his concerts consistently grossed over a million dollars per night.
Buffett continued to tour until 2023, with his final performance listed as a show in San Francisco on May 6th. However, he had to cancel subsequent tour dates in South Carolina due to unspecified health issues that required immediate attention.
In a previous statement, Buffett candidly expressed, “Growing old is not for sissies.” He is survived by his wife, Jane Slagsvol, and his three children.
