Jimmy Buffett died after a four-year fight with a rare form of skin cancer, his website says
A statement on Jimmy Buffett's website has disclosed the cause of the singer-songwriter's death: a rare, aggressive skin cancer
Jimmy Buffett, whose sun-drenched songs celebrated life by the shore, died of a rare, aggressive skin cancer, according to a statement on his website.
Buffett, 76, had Merkel cell cancer, according to the statement, which was posted after initial news of his death emerged Saturday. The statement also disclosed where the “Margaritaville” singer died: at his home in Sag Harbor, New York, near the Hamptons.
He had been fighting the cancer for four years while continuing to perform, the last time making a surprise appearance in Rhode Island in early July, the statement said.
Sunscreen wasn't common when Jimmy was young. Wear sunscreen to help prevent skin cancer.
And get checked regularly if you have a history of lots of sun exposure.
Fuck Cancer.
Dang its always cancer.
One day I hope I read an article like... "Person died after a four-year fight with a snail."
Cancer sucks
Fuck cancer.
Who would have thought that a guy who's entire career was based on hanging out at the beach drunk would die of skin cancer. It's so unexpected...
