1:01Now PlayingJimmy Buffett, a legendary singer and Margaritaville empire owner, has died at 76.
With his crinkled smile, breezy tunes and barefoot stage presence, Buffett encompassed the persona of a beach bum.
But a 50-plus year recording career that spawned unparalleled devotion from fans as well as branded restaurants, books, beer, resorts, a Broadway show and cruise line established Buffett as a bona fide mogul.
The “Margaritaville” icon died Friday, according to a statement on his official website and social media pages.
The statement reads the singer died "peacefully ... surrounded by his family, friends, music and dogs."
"He lived his life like a song till the very last breath and will be missed beyond measure by so many."
