US singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett, best known for his 1970’s hit Margaritaville, has died aged 76.
“Jimmy passed away peacefully on the night of September 1 surrounded by his family, friends, music and dogs,” said a statement on his website.
The cause of death has been given as Merkel Cell Carcinoma, a type of Neuroendocrine Carcinoma of the skin.

Many people in US and elsewhere will have heard of Jimmy and love his music. I vividly remember going into the Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville in Universal Orlando Resort CityWalk and found his music very pleasant to listen to.
RIP Jimmy, your name and music lives on!
