He lived his life doing exactly what he loved doing..He seemed very happy to me performing for all his fans. When its our time to go it's our time.. Make everyday count because we never know if its our last..rip Jimmy and enjoy those cheeseburgers in paradise..
Sad to hear of Jimmy's passing. Love his music and it will stay in our home.Thoughts and prayers for family and friends. He surely is missed and his music will live on. 🎶😢❤️
My condolences to the family. Cancer is a terrible thing to watch someone wither away to, so is ALS. Maybe we should make September 1st National Margarita Day in honor of Jimmy. FLY NAVY!!!
RIP Jimmy. I hope and pray you are playing a guitar on a beach in heaven. I’m a parrot head and I think his music resonates with everyone. Chill vibes and great lyrics. ❤
I'm so sad for the loss of Jimmy Buffett and I feel robbed I never got to see him play rest with the angels Jimmy you made a lot of people on this planet very happy
I was fortunate enough to have been gifted with 2 front row seats at Pine Knob to see Jimmy. Late 70s or early 80s, my memory fails me. But it was the best concert I've ever been to. A buddy of mine went with me and we were hooting and hollering through out the show. A gallon thermos of margaritas and plenty of joints helped grease the way. Jimmy came over after the show and shook both our hands. It was a great experience.
A legend is gone. Everyone on the planet knows a Jimmy Buffett song. Very sad when my mother informed me of him passing. My mother was a huge fan of him. She is a parrot-head for sure and I can sing along every word to Margaritaville. One of her favorite singer/songwriters. His songs just make me wish of a laid back simple life on a Carribean Island without a worry in the world. The kind of music that puts a smile on one's face. Thank you for your timeless music Jimmy. I can see Margaritaville still being played 100 years from now at some ocean side tiki bar and that is something amazing. Will be missed by so many but definitely never forgotten. Rest in peace Jimmy Buffett.
People don't think skin cancer can be bad, ah just go to the Dermatologist and get it cut out they say. Thanks for your music Jimmy and for being a great human being.
I'm saddened by his death. I got to see him at Bonnaroo in 2009. He wasn't even scheduled to perform. One of the other bands had to cancel at the last minute so Jimmy took their spot. It was a surprise. No one in the crowd knew that he was going to perform. It was such a fun set. He played all of his hit songs and the crowd really got into it, especially during Fins. I'm so glad that I got the opportunity to see him. RIP Jimmy Buffett
Thus makes me so sad! I'm in Cincinnati & his shows here were epic & beloved by all... my dad took us EVERY year my entire life... it's a big part of our bond.... Jimmy will be missed but I'm sure he's somewhere enjoying a drink. It's 5 o'clock somewhere.... right?? 😢 sending ❤ to his family.
Jane, such a beautiful tribute about a beautiful and talented man. Jimmy's death hits me hard as I was also diagnosed with Lymphoma 3 years ago. Although I am in remission now and 75 years old I worry every day about it becoming active again. You don't really know the feelings unless you have it yourself. RIP Jimmy have a blast in heaven . Loved all your music it takes me to my days on my beach vacations. My sympathy to you and the children.
How sad that someone who loved and lived for the sun had to die from a skin cancer. You’ll be so missed Jimmy B! Will think of you EVERY time I pick up a salt shaker, eat a cheeseburger or drink a margarita…….or sail the sea.
No it is not. I had to watch my sister. She fought for 18 months before she passed. To know that both he and his sister were going thru ,it must have been hard knowing that their chances of maybe not making it were always there. Rip Jimmy. May you sail on.
He made people smile. He made them laugh. His concerts were something that you had to experience All I know is the band in heaven keeps getting brighter and brighter and now they're singing margaritaville. Thank you, Jimmy
If your diagnosed pre diabetes demand (do not be denied) a scan of the pancreas expensive but a huge game changer. This is what a surgeon told me after he completed the whipple surgery on my loved one.
Saw Jimmy 3 times, best was at Lion Country Safari in Orange County CA in the 80’s… a natural amphitheater. Changes in Latitude, Changes in Attitude was the song that made me a Jimmy Buffett fan. As my daughter likes to say, every human situation was covered by a Seinfeld episode, and I say every human situation is covered by a Jimmy Buffett song.
Sunlight exposure is thought to be one of the causes of Merkel-cell carcinoma (MCC). The World Health Organization, American Academy of Dermatology, and Skin Cancer Foundation recommend the following measures to prevent excessive UV exposure and skin cancer: Limiting sun exposure between the hours of 10am and 4pm, when UV rays are the strongest Seeking shade when UV rays are most intense Wearing sun-protective clothing including a wide brim hat, sunglasses, and tightly woven, loose-fitting clothing Using sunscreen Avoiding tanning beds and artificial UV exposure
This segment had little or no information about the deadly cancer. It would have been helpful if they provided measures to prevent and. treat this skin cancer. RIP, Jimmy Buffett.
What a tragic loss of a very talented man. His carefree lifestyle mixed with alcohol and too much sunshine caught up with him to take him early. Many of us fans need to learn from this message that a care-free lifestyle of just feel good each day may not be the healthiest way to live and enjoy life. One must also consider family and friends who will be saddened from not seeing us around. His music will certainly not be lost and will live on and on. Thanks Jimmy.
I would think if you asked him if he would have lived his life differently, the answer would not be what you wanted to hear. Who are we to judge? He lived one heck of a life, only most could dream. RIP Sailor Jimmy
@@glennkovacs1328 Don't get me wrong, I would have liked his to stick around a few more years. He was both mentally and physically young for his age. He was the best judge of how much he would comply with doctor's wishes. Would it have really hurt to just apply some sunscreen in his later years as well as not drink as much? It doesn't affect me, but I know that many of his followers have that same carefree lifestyle. Many families would like their own members to be there for family milestones. Don't be selfish, do it for your loved ones. I am not judging anybody. He reaped what he sowed. Good-bye Jimmy.
I know! That’s what I said earlier. Think of the good he could have done for so many of his fans, if he had shared it. Four years, and all those that would have learned from his misfortune, or listened to him ( when they wouldn’t take anyone else’s advice), if he would have advocated for sunscreen. I could understand hust wanting to live out your last days with family in peace, if he had only found out recently, but four years? Think how many lives he could have impacted in four years with his story.
Shame on all of you to try and think that Jimmy Buffett is responsible for all of people that can’t see it THEMSELVES. Hard core drinking, eating unhealthy like a pig, living on the beach without sun protection is someone else’s responsibility to us? Really? Did you just fall of the turnip truck? Comes a time in all of our lives, preferably young adulthood, when we are responsible for ourselves. Not our parents, sport figures or even Jimmy Buffett
@@glennkovacs1328 You are correct in that each of us should take the responsibility of our own care, but many don't. It is only the remaining family that shares the sorrow. Alcoholism, obesity, high cholesterol, and cancer take a toll on the medical insurance companies too. If one doesn't have adequate insurance, we all end up sharing the expense through a government fund. My only message is that he was promoting the carefree life style, and many of his fans don't know where to draw the line. The American health condition is not getting better.
In my view, Jimmy got better with age. When he first made it big I don't think he wore the "bigness" that well. He was still an excited kid. But it didn't take him long to mellow into the kind of chilled out persona we all loved. We've lost an irreplaceable asset, but at least his gifts will keep on giving. Bless you, Jimmy, and thank you!
Am I the only one that finds it disturbing that Buffet (famous for singing about sun and fun), knew he had skin cancer for four years, and didn’t open up about it and possibly help others? I hated to hear we lost him. I really did. After a few days of it setting in though, it occurred to me what a real shame it is that so much time passed, and all the good he could have done by speaking about it. I haven’t heard anyone else mention this. Think of those over the last four years that could have been positively influenced by the awareness he could have brought to the disease of skin cancer, and the use of sunscreen. He could have literally saved lives by sharing this over the last four years. Now that would have been a legacy to leave behind.
@@hermanmunster714 Yeah, but if you think outside yourself, and think about what you could offer others while you have a chance, it should be an easy choice, to choose to make a difference, rather than try to avoid the embarrassment of a pity party.
Trying to survive cancer is a full time job. Maybe he was consumed with trying to save his life and maintain his privacy and quality of life. Saving the world is a big job.
I can not belive that Jimmy would have not shared his health with his fans! We parrotheads were so heartbroken! We are still crying, not believing that JB will not meet us on the end of A1A in KeyWest at his studio down in the Keys Bay! (Schooners Warf)! end of Front Street!
You should speak in full sentences for stories like this. How irritating it is listening to a “tribute” in the staccato short form newspeak all the cool kids use
Exactly. Any vice in excess means trouble. Remember when sun worshipers really did cover themselves in baby oil in an attempt to achieve that perfect golden tan? Most now are paying the price with skin health issues, or at least donning gross leathery skin. The sun is not your friend.
"Some of it's magic, and some of it's tragic
But I had a good life all the way"
RIP JB
Thank you Jimmy, and I think your Mayor from New Jersey would be thanking you again in Key West. FL!
RIP you beautiful soul. Thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
Hey Jimmy, I love your 🎶 music and will always remember how you took me hand in hand to

I've lost 3 siblings yes it's a horrid disease. 😞
He had an amazing run.
This world still needed him but he had to go. RIP Jimmy😢
What a loss..I miss you Jimmy! absolutely the coolest guy in the world.
So sad he will be missed! Everyone who knows him have always said great things!
Saw him in concert in 1977. Didn’t dream he would become an icon. Lucky to see him.
Rest😢🎉❤
Loved the man loved his love of music he sure was a mellow man who enjoyed life and playing music. The fans absolutely loved him he will be missed 😢

So good. 💙🙏💙

It's been a Lovely Cruise. 🌊☮️
I HATE any type of cancer, I lost my sister and best friend to this stuff.
Me too,.. sister and best friend.
I'm so sad.
He sure had a great life
Would have been helpful if more was shared about the disease that even the best medical care that money could buy, couldn’t overcome
They don’t want to find a cure - they make hundreds of billions from this illness
Agree. Title was click bait.
Trying to survive cancer is a full time job. Maybe he was consumed with trying to save his life and maintain his privacy and quality of life. Saving the world is a big job.

Exactly. Any vice in excess means trouble. Remember when sun worshipers really did cover themselves in baby oil in an attempt to achieve that perfect golden tan? Most now are paying the price with skin health issues, or at least donning gross leathery skin. The sun is not your friend.
Too much Sun.

He could have saved lives if he had spoken up sooner too.
@@jonikilly8365 Maybe, but ultimately people are responsible for themselves. Not everyone wants their private health struggles to be public knowledge.
