Legendary musician and entertainer Jimmy Buffett has died.

He was 76.

News of the star’s death was announced by his family on social media just months after he was forced to pull the plug on his shows following a series of hospitalizations.

“Jimmy passed away peacefully on the night of September 1st surrounded by his family, friends, music and dogs,” the tropical rocker’s loved ones said in a statement on Instagram.

“He lived his life like a song till the very last breath and will be missed beyond measure by so many.”

The “Margaritaville” hitmaker leaves behind his wife, Jane Slagsvol, whom he’s been married to since 1977, as well as his three children: Savannah, Sarah, and Cameron.
