This is a sad, sad day. I’ve been to over a dozen of his shows and I’ve been a fan all my life. This is a gut punch. RIP Jimmy, your music means that much more to me now.
Its a great day for me. If youve ever dealt with aNyone having uncurable cancer and in hospice, it sucks, its pain, agony and suffering and I would wish that on no one. RIP
Man. I’m so sad!! Love Jimmy Buffet. His music is so near and dear to my heart. I love the beach and chill music he gave to us all. Parrot heads are in mourning. That includes me. RIP Jimmy. I know there’s a beach in heaven. ❤️❤️
Been a fan for 40 yrs. Seen him several times and can't say enough about him. I don't believe I have ever cried as much as I did this morning. He will forever be in my heart. Not a single day have I not listened to Jimmy Buffett Buffett. Rest in piece my friend!😢
My dad would have been right along with you. I grew up listening to him pretty much everyday. My dad passed in 2009, so in a way, Jimmy's performing for him now.
@@Xane_Dragon Everything I know about Jimmy tells me that he would want us to celebrate his life instead of mourning his death. He brought such joy to so many!
I've been crying on and off all day over this. Rip Jimmy. Thank you for the good memories of sitting on my deck blasting your music with my father in law ❤️❤️❤️
What does that have to do with Jimmy ? I know he went to Heaven......he was a good man. Go do your preaching to non believers if you don't mind. Thank You and have a day filled with grace.@@kristophstjames4143
was JB a Christian? I've never heard him mention Jesus , only those born again go to heaven, I hope he was in the end because i never saw any evidence that he was
@@kristophstjames4143 He was raised Catholic and expressed his spiritual nature through his God given talent of song writing and music. He brought joy to the world with a positive snd loving attitude towards people, animals and the natural world. He was well loved because he loved well. Some talk it, but he walked it.
@@pennlawrence6520 ok thanks, but none of that gets us into heaven, Jesus told us we must be Born Again, we must be saved through him, - if not , we don't go to heaven
Been a fan of Jimmy Buffett's for 45 years! so many concerts I don't know how many! Some of the best times in my life! Met him in Columbia Maryland , he was so nice! Love you Jimmy!
An unspeakable loss to the world. I had been to many concerts but never one like his in The Tacoma Dome in Tacoma, Washington. He played 3 hours and everyone was overjoyed. You have made millions happy. Rest In Peace Jimmy.
Jimmy lived life the right way. He gave back all the joy that he took, only surrounding himself with the things he enjoyed so that he was always in the mood to give the people he was with a good time, and he lived for the happiness and peace of his family, friends and fans. God Bless you Jimmy, rest forever easy!
I'm so sorry for his lose My Father always listened to him now I'm 59 and I've always listened to him .still did till the end I'm so sorry for his loss . That goes out to his family and friends and coworkers . Ausome man !!! 🙏😥🙏
We've lost a great troubador. His music marked so much of my life milestones and from chemo to divorce to road trips, concerts, smiles, trials and triumphs it made me reflect and brought me joy. A sad morning to wake up to the news. Sail on, Jimmy. Sail on.
Sad, sad day. Such a beautiful man, inside and out that brought so much joy to others and it’s raining in Florida so we are all feeling the loss of such a great soul!
I am heart broken I seen Jimmy Buffett in concert he was definitely one of the best my thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends may he rest in peace ❤🙏😢
Ladies and gentlemen, We gather here today to celebrate the life and legacy of a man who needs no introduction, a man whose music and spirit have touched the lives of countless individuals around the world. We come together to bid farewell to the one and only Jimmy Buffett. Jimmy was more than just a musician; he was a storyteller, a troubadour, and a true embodiment of the laid-back, carefree island lifestyle that he so eloquently sang about in his songs. He brought us tales of margaritas, cheeseburgers in paradise, and endless summers, transporting us to a world where worries faded away with each strum of his guitar. Born on December 25, 1946, in Pascagoula, Mississippi, Jimmy's journey began in a small coastal town, but his dreams were as vast as the ocean. He started as a struggling musician, playing in bars and cafes, but he had a vision, a vision of creating music that would make us smile, dance, and forget about our troubles. And boy, did he succeed. Jimmy's music wasn't just about the catchy tunes; it was about the philosophy of life that he shared with all of us. He taught us to embrace the simple pleasures, to savor the moments, and to live life to the fullest. He reminded us that it's not about the destination; it's about the journey, the people we meet along the way, and the stories we create. As we say goodbye to Jimmy today, let's not dwell on the sadness of his passing but rather celebrate the incredible impact he had on our lives. His songs became the soundtrack of our summers, and his concerts were like family reunions where we danced, laughed, and sang along with thousands of fellow Parrotheads. Jimmy Buffett was more than a musician; he was a philanthropist, an environmentalist, and a man who used his fame to make the world a better place. His passion for preserving the natural beauty of our planet and his dedication to charitable causes will continue to inspire us for generations to come. In his own words, "It's those changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes, nothing remains quite the same. With all of our running and all of our cunning, if we couldn't laugh, we would all go insane." Let us remember Jimmy not with tears, but with laughter and gratitude for the joy he brought into our lives. As we bid farewell to this legendary son of the sea, let's raise a margarita in his honor, and let the music play on. Jimmy, your legacy will live on in the hearts of Parrotheads everywhere, and we'll continue to live life to the fullest, just as you taught us. Fins up, Jimmy Buffett, and may you forever sail on those endless seas of paradise. You will be dearly missed, but your spirit will always be with us. Thank you for the music, the memories, and the endless summer days. Rest in peace, Captain Jimmy.
@@lotsoffun4716 What's to know, he only had 4 songs which none ever made it to #1 on Billboard. He hit at #8 and the rest barely made it to the top 40. He only became popular because Jim Croce died
May he rest in peace! I'm proud to call myself a *parrothead* . I've been to many of his concerts in Birmingham, Tuscaloosa and Nashville from the seventies to the 90s. I have all his studio albums a couple of his live albums and a few clips of songs that I use for notification sounds on my phone.
I met him once after landing his plane near Annapolis, Maryland. He was there to celebrate the graduates of the naval academy. He talked to me like I was a relative. He was an extremely nice guy.
I was always hoping to someday meet Jimmy and thank him for the calming hours after a stressful long day at work and keeping my dream alive. Sail on Jimmy. Donate for a Dream
This is just so sad to learn this morning. We saw Jimmy Buffett in concert, along with Glen Frey, probably 18 years ago. Concert was outdoors in Centennial Park on the Caloosahatchee River in Ft. Myers. One of the best and most fun concerts ever. Will listen to his music all day today.
This is actually a great day if anyone has ever dealt with anyone whom has had cancer and in hospice. Now he is no longer suffering. Living with uncurable cancer is NOT LIVING, its pain and suffering and I for one am greatful those days are over for him. RIP and Thanks for all the great tunes and good vibes! Have some Cheeseburgers and Margaritas in Paradise for me!🇺🇸🍻✌🏻
Always had Jimmy Buffett on my Walkman cassette player when I spent days at the beach. Thanks for the music, Jimmy. Enjoy your margaritas and cheeseburgers in your paradise.
Such a sad day for me. I have been a proud Parrothead since the beginning. Jimmy, thank you for bringing your wonderful music into my life. RIP my friend. Now Margaritaville is open in Heaven...
When I was serving in the Army in typically dreary overcast Germany in the very early 80's, Jimmy Buffett brought be back home everyday to Sunny South Florida and kept me happy. Thanks Jimmy!
Jimmy Buffett also had some very sweet and wistful songs: "He Went to Paris", "Come Monday", and "The Wino and I Know" are my favorites. He was just so much fun to watch!!!
@@Xane_Dragon can you go away for a day dumass. thats a healthy long life for an American male . We do wish he lived much longer. You blaming music for stupid life decisions only makes sense to idiots who took medical advice from nasty politicians .
It seems the trolls that are butt hurt because Jimmy was a decent human being who supported Democrats have found a video to spew their hate and vitriol!
Thank you @cnn for posting. During my life's journeys, I would seek out and discover my own tropical paradise. And when I did, I would pay homage to Jimmy by playing a selection of his songs. I send my heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, band mates and to his fans 🙏 I believe the good Lord has a special tropical paradise in Heaven for Jimmy.
You could tell in his interviews he was the real thing, no fake it just came through, sad,sad day,his joy was contagious, you cant even say his name without smiling!!
Well damn. I wouldn't say I'm a huge fan or anything but I have pretty good feelings attached to the live album my mom had on cassette. I must have heard it 1000+ times driving around in the 90s. I lost her around this time 3 years ago, been thinking about her so much the past few weeks, and now this news. Looks like I'll have to give Feeding Frenzy another listen today.
Just a regular person here with my recollection of Jimmy. In 1977 he showed up at my apt at 2:30 am with two of my room mates. We partied until the break of dawn. And he was just a really kind, funny, and sweet person. I will miss him. Hugs to your family Jimmy. RIP friend.
We more Buffets. Now more than ever. We seem to have lost that ability to be carefree sometime after the 70’s. A sense of live & let live. We need it back.
@@Xane_Dragon Your whiney azz should appreciate the fact he was a billionaire because of his lifestyle and music but all you got is pushing shopping carts at Walmart and trolling the web!
@@Xane_Dragonthat’s meaningless, some god-awful stuff had made #1 on music charts because most people are stupid and like stupid music (see: Lizzo for f*cks sake)!
I played several of his songs on guitar and I found my vocal range was similar to his. I love listening to his songs, because many of them are fun and laid back. And I play them when I feel like it. I am deeply saddened that he is no longer with us. One of my former high school teachers is a Parrot Head and he is devastated. I played a few Jimmy Buffett songs for him when I got the chance. Jimmy Buffett when he came to Australia in 2012 presented Margaritaville with additional verses which made fun of a stage accident the previous year and everyone loved it.
@@lotsoffun4716 don’t get the wrong idea. I never said all of them. I should’ve worded it as many of them. Anyway I love that song, Come Monday. I frequently played it on guitar.
Saw him in 1976 on campus and fell in love with his music then. So may favourite songs. I did get to key west too an awesome place in the 70s. A change in my latitude did change my attitude. Thanks for the music JImmy RIP
He was an original. I met him once, no pretensions whatsoever, a salt of the earth fella. A really nice guy, easy to be with. Jimmy`s unique Yacht Rock rules for all us yachties. Sailors love his music because the lyrics of each tell a story so when sailing they keep you company. RIP Jimmy Buffet, your music lives on forever. I`ll have one for you today sailing along playing Come Monday, my favourite.
Jimmy's greatest performance for me was in portland oregon at the coliseum back in the 80s. Somehow I scored a front row center aisle seat. The entire front row had a kick line going! A girl saw me in that prime seat and came running down from some higher seat and lands on my lap and wraps her arms around me. I was totally surprised, but absolutely rolled with it.... until security dragged her away. In the lights Jimmy could only see a couple of the first rows. He watched all this happen. After I lost "my girl", I looked up to see him laughing. He holds his hands up and shrugs. I laugh and do the same since this is just what happens in Margaritaville ! What a classic Buffett moment in life! I only wish I knew I would start this business, because I know Jimmy would have loved to live on one of the habitats I create. oh well, maybe one day when we are both over that horizon. Thank you Jimmy for all the years, all the smiles. Peace and joy to your spirit. Oh , if you are that girl reading this, stop on by. I know we will have a laugh or three!
I remember hearing him sing on Q102 out of Dallas, Texas. I never though I'd get to see one of his shows. I was working at Billy Bob's Texas as a security guard/bouncer. He put on a great show. There were a whole lot of drunks, but I don't recall having to fight when he rolled threw. Just a lot of happy drunks. For me I just don't remember feeling on edge like I would when other acts would come to town. Come to think of it, I do believe during one of his shows I had a patron ask me to dance with her while I worked my gate. It was that chill. This would be about 1983.
@@kr2934 I did dance, but I don't remember which song. That was over 40 years ago. There would be shows that you knew going to be a cluster muck. And others that would be like a night out. It wasn't the performer that made it enjoyable or not for us employees. It was the mentality of the crowd that came to see the acts.
He used to open up for Gamble Rogers here in St Augustine at the beginning of his career. He never went back to the "Tradewinds" (If you are a local, you know what I am talking about). LOL, RIP Jimmy.
Lost count of how many Tanglewood shows I saw Jimmy. It just wasn't Summer without JB's visit to the Berkshires. Love, respect, and condolences to his family and friends. The world is not going to be the same without him.
Jimmy set sail for the great sea in the sky, vast blue oceans he will sail for all eternity. Thanks Jimmy for a lifetime of smiles, memories, and songs, you will be missed so much by so many. I know you would want us to carry on in song, spirit, and positive thoughts so that is what we shall do. Raising a glass to you sir, may you always have a warm breeze at your back and a safe harbor to dock in when needed. RIP Jimmy
My most memorable Jimmy Buffett moment? When I received a fan letter from him. Back in 1992 after he'd completed his first book, he came to NYC to do an un-publicized book signing. I found out about it by doing some digging. I went to the signing with a letter I'd written for him. 2 weeks later I got a letter from him - the first sentence was "If I wrote letters like you do, I might consider becoming a writer." He went on for 7 paragraphs and invited me to meet him at a club in NYC where he was promoting a band - The Iguanas. My wife and I met him there and hung out. We shared a beer, talked about music and my letter and he offered me the opportunity to edit The Coconut Telegraph. He was amazingly nice and incredibly gracious. Thanks again for everything Jimmy.
In the US Navy tradition " Wishing you a Happy Voyage Jimmy!" We will miss you buddy but your music will live forever! Loved your Nautical Sailor song! MARYLANDER here! ⚓🌅⛵⚓🌅⛱️🐬🐬🐬🐬🌴🍔🦜🦜🌴🇩🇪🇨🇭🇺🇸🌊💙🌊💙🌊💙🌊💙🌊💙🌊
I never had the pleasure of meeting Jimmy Buffett but it turns out that I have a few friends who did and they all have a cool story to tell. I hope that when people look up the definition of 'A life well lived.' that there's a picture of him next to the explanation.
JIMMY BUFFET!!! WAS A GIFT FROM GOD!!! AND I TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT THAT,!!! AND GOD KNOWS ALL, AND GOD KNOWS EVERYTHING!!! SO IT HAD TO BE A GIFT FROM GOD TO GIVE JIMMY BUFFET!!! AND I'M A FIRM BELIEVER IN HOW GOD CAN BLESS!!! AND JIMMY BUFFET HAD TO BE A BLESSING FROM GOD!!!

I played several of his songs on guitar and I found my vocal range was similar to his. I love listening to his songs, because many of them are fun and laid back. And I play them when I feel like it. I am deeply saddened that he is no longer with us. One of my former high school teachers is a Parrot Head and he is devastated. I played a few Jimmy Buffett songs for him when I got the chance.
Jimmy Buffett when he came to Australia in 2012 presented Margaritaville with additional verses which made fun of a stage accident the previous year and everyone loved it.
Not all of his songs were just for fun. Come, Monday, He went to Paris, etc...TONS of songs to remember him by.
@@lotsoffun4716 don’t get the wrong idea. I never said all of them. I should’ve worded it as many of them. Anyway I love that song, Come Monday. I frequently played it on guitar.
I never knew Jimmy Buffett personally but he was a part of my life. My heart is broken. I will miss him
Saw him in 1976 on campus and fell in love with his music then. So may favourite songs. I did get to key west too an awesome place in the 70s. A change in my latitude did change my attitude. Thanks for the music JImmy RIP
Sail on you magical pirate! Thank you for sharing your art. It will continue on with love and appreciation!
What a man, what a musician, what a legacy
Thank you for sharing your talent with us, your fans ♥️♥️♥️
He was an original. I met him once, no pretensions whatsoever, a salt of the earth fella. A really nice guy, easy to be with. Jimmy`s unique Yacht Rock rules for all us yachties. Sailors love his music because the lyrics of each tell a story so when sailing they keep you company. RIP Jimmy Buffet, your music lives on forever. I`ll have one for you today sailing along playing Come Monday, my favourite.
I LOVE Come Monday. Written for his wife Jane Buffet!
He was an awesome guy and he will be missed by all
Jimmy's greatest performance for me was in portland oregon at the coliseum back in the 80s. Somehow I scored a front row center aisle seat. The entire front row had a kick line going! A girl saw me in that prime seat and came running down from some higher seat and lands on my lap and wraps her arms around me. I was totally surprised, but absolutely rolled with it.... until security dragged her away. In the lights Jimmy could only see a couple of the first rows. He watched all this happen. After I lost "my girl", I looked up to see him laughing. He holds his hands up and shrugs. I laugh and do the same since this is just what happens in Margaritaville ! What a classic Buffett moment in life! I only wish I knew I would start this business, because I know Jimmy would have loved to live on one of the habitats I create. oh well, maybe one day when we are both over that horizon. Thank you Jimmy for all the years, all the smiles. Peace and joy to your spirit. Oh , if you are that girl reading this, stop on by. I know we will have a laugh or three!
We will forever be the people our parents warned us about!!! 😭
I remember hearing him sing on Q102 out of Dallas, Texas. I never though I'd get to see one of his shows.
I was working at Billy Bob's Texas as a security guard/bouncer. He put on a great show. There were a whole lot of drunks, but I don't recall having to fight when he rolled threw. Just a lot of happy drunks. For me I just don't remember feeling on edge like I would when other acts would come to town.
Come to think of it, I do believe during one of his shows I had a patron ask me to dance with her while I worked my gate. It was that chill. This would be about 1983.

I did dance, but I don't remember which song. That was over 40 years ago.
There would be shows that you knew going to be a cluster muck. And others that would be like a night out.
It wasn't the performer that made it enjoyable or not for us employees. It was the mentality of the crowd that came to see the acts.
This is the last big weekend of summer and Jimmy Buffett's music will be played nonstop at the lake. What lake? ALL THE LAKES!!!
Passed away surrounded by friends, family, music & sogs. What a way to go ✌🏻🎶
A Legend Never Dies
He lived a life most of us can only dream about. RIP mr buffet
He used to open up for Gamble Rogers here in St Augustine at the beginning of his career. He never went back to the "Tradewinds" (If you are a local, you know what I am talking about). LOL, RIP Jimmy.
Will miss his unique music and talent
Same here
I miss Jimmy. Known him since I was a little girl. Moved a special place to carry his unforgettable spirit....
Yesterday, My guitar instructor chose the song “Cheeseburger in Paradise” for my lesson, in tribute to him. RIP Jimmy Buffet.
He gave all of us so much joy…
@Iknowaboutroaches3350 Your loss, pal.
RIP Sir you were a legend.. 😢
Epic song and person
Rip boss 🎉
He loved life, and lived it!!
He was greedy and you fell for it
I was just listening to you yesterday Rip always brings joy to my heart when I hear songs
It's the end of an era. Loved his music since 1976

My dads favourite song , he passed away 10 years ago this reminded me of him thanks for the memories jimmy
This makes me indescribably sad. RIP.
A born artist, Rest In Peace 🙏
Lost count of how many Tanglewood shows I saw Jimmy. It just wasn't Summer without JB's visit to the Berkshires. Love, respect, and condolences to his family and friends. The world is not going to be the same without him.
Jimmy, Rest in Peace…and thank You🍹✨
A great one! Thanks for everything!
May Jimmy Buffett rest in peace! I will forever remember and appreciate his huge contributions to the music industry. He will truly be missed. 😢
The only CNN video I gave ever clicked on... RIP my salty sailor 👑
Jimmy set sail for the great sea in the sky, vast blue oceans he will sail for all eternity. Thanks Jimmy for a lifetime of smiles, memories, and songs, you will be missed so much by so many. I know you would want us to carry on in song, spirit, and positive thoughts so that is what we shall do. Raising a glass to you sir, may you always have a warm breeze at your back and a safe harbor to dock in when needed.
RIP Jimmy
Rest in peace Jimmy. Thanks for the music.
My most memorable Jimmy Buffett moment? When I received a fan letter from him. Back in 1992 after he'd completed his first book, he came to NYC to do an un-publicized book signing. I found out about it by doing some digging. I went to the signing with a letter I'd written for him. 2 weeks later I got a letter from him - the first sentence was "If I wrote letters like you do, I might consider becoming a writer." He went on for 7 paragraphs and invited me to meet him at a club in NYC where he was promoting a band - The Iguanas. My wife and I met him there and hung out. We shared a beer, talked about music and my letter and he offered me the opportunity to edit The Coconut Telegraph. He was amazingly nice and incredibly gracious.
Thanks again for everything Jimmy.
In the US Navy tradition " Wishing you a Happy Voyage Jimmy!" We will miss you buddy but your music will live forever! Loved your Nautical Sailor song! MARYLANDER here! ⚓🌅⛵⚓🌅⛱️🐬🐬🐬🐬🌴🍔🦜🦜🌴🇩🇪🇨🇭🇺🇸🌊💙🌊💙🌊💙🌊💙🌊💙🌊
What a great singer. Loved the music and his life at the beach
Another legend that will be well missed🍹🏖✌❤
I never had the pleasure of meeting Jimmy Buffett but it turns out that I have a few friends who did and they all have a cool story to tell. I hope that when people look up the definition of 'A life well lived.' that there's a picture of him next to the explanation.
JIMMY BUFFET!!! WAS A GIFT FROM GOD!!! AND I TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT THAT,!!! AND GOD KNOWS ALL, AND GOD KNOWS EVERYTHING!!! SO IT HAD TO BE A GIFT FROM GOD TO GIVE JIMMY BUFFET!!! AND I'M A FIRM BELIEVER IN HOW GOD CAN BLESS!!! AND JIMMY BUFFET HAD TO BE A BLESSING FROM GOD!!!
Saying goodbye with a heavy heart😢
RIP Jimmy Buffett Irreverent but not irrelevant
Thanks for all of the smiles and all of the songs, in the past, now and in the future.
A legend never dies :)
Jimmy touched the lives of millions with his happy uplifting music, his spirit will live on forever, rip
Yeah he touched a lot of little girls 2😅
Could not have been said better...
My sincere condolences to the Parrot Heads. I know how much you loved him. He was an immensely talented man but, more important, he was a good man.
