Fans are remembering Jimmy Buffett’s best moments following the music legend’s death aged 76 on 1 September.
The two-time Grammy nominee was previously hospitalised in May to ‘address issues that needed immediate attention’.
A statement read that the ‘Margaritaville’ singer passed away while ‘surrounded by his family, friends, music and dogs’, but no cause of death was revealed.
“He lived his life like a song till the very last breath and will be missed beyond measure by so many”, the statement added.

01:55 and all I had on was Bono.
