Legendary musician Jimmy Buffett<\/a> died Friday following a battle with an undisclosed health issue. He was 76.<\/p>\n

“Jimmy passed away peacefully on the night of September 1st surrounded by his family, friends, music and dogs,” a statement posted to Buffett\u2019s official website and social media pages said.<\/p>\n

The Grammy-nominated singer and songwriter was known for a long list of hit songs, including “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere.” The “Margaritaville” singer also developed a lucrative business empire.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In 2005, Buffett etched his name in the Wrigley Field<\/a> history books when he became the first musician to perform at the historic ballpark.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Cubs were on the road Saturday for a series against the Cincinnati Reds<\/a>, but the team’s verified social media channel paid tribute to the legendary musician.\u00a0<\/p>\n

J.J. WATT POSTS TRIBUTE TO JIMMY BUFFETT: ‘AN ABSOLUTE LEGEND’<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“We are deeply saddened by the passing of legendary musician and Cubs fan Jimmy Buffett. Thank you for introducing Wrigley Field to the world as a concert venue,” the Cubs wrote on X, the company formerly known as Twitter.<\/p>\n

“The Cubs organization sends its sincere condolences to Buffett’s family, friends and fans.”<\/p>\n

Buffett returned to perform at Wrigley in 2017 and 2018.<\/p>\n

According to the Chicago Tribune, Buffett developed a friendship with folk and country singer<\/a> Steve Goodman, who is credited with writing the “Go Cubs Go” song. Goodman died in 1984.<\/p>\n

Buffett told the Tribune in 2017 it was emotional for him to play at Wrigley Field because of his friendship with Goodman.<\/p>\n

Several other big-name musicians have followed in Buffett’s footsteps since his 2005 concert. Billy Joel, Elton John, Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen<\/a> and others have performed at Wrigley.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
