No cause of death has been given at this time.
In May, Buffett announced on social media that he had to reschedule a show after being hospitalized in Boston for immediate attention to some health issues.
Born on Christmas day in 1946 in Pascagoula, Mississippi, James William Buffett was raised in Mobile, Alabama, and graduated from the University of Southern Mississippi.
In 1977, Buffett released his hit song “Margaritaville,” which quickly gained a cult-like following. He became famous for his music about easy and laid-back beach living, and successfully turned his folksy beach music into a billion-dollar empire of restaurants, resorts, and frozen drinks.
Buffett was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2006, one of music’s highest honors.
He is survived by his wife, Jane; daughters, Savannah and Sarah; and son, Cameron.
