"He lived his life like a song till the very last breath and will be missed beyond measure by so many," the post read.The statement did not say where Buffett died or give a cause of death.Illness had forced him to reschedule concerts in May and Buffett acknowledged in social media posts that he had been hospitalised but provided no specifics.Buffett was a little-known singer songwriter when, after a rough night in Texas, he had a margarita at a bar.
Released on February 14, 1977, the song quickly took on a life of its own, becoming a state of mind for those "wastin' away," an excuse for a life of low-key fun and escapism for those "growing older, but not up." "The tourists come and go, one group indistinguishable from the other. Waves crest and break whether somebody is there to witness it or not. Everything that means anything has already happened and you're not even sure when."
