Music legend Jimmy Buffett died after a secret years-long battle with skin cancer, sources have revealed.
The singer-songwriter’s death aged 76 was announced on Friday night, and an insider told TMZ his demise came four years after he was diagnosed with skin cancer that turned into lymphoma.
‘He lived his life in the sun, literally and figuratively,’ they said, adding that Buffett had begun hospice care on Monday. Insiders said his failing health led to an outpouring of support from friends and family, and his friend Paul McCartney reportedly visited the Grammy nominee at his home within the last week to sing to him.
