The musician has had an impressive 60-year career and is known for songs like Margaritaville and It’s 5 O’Clock Somewhere.
Buffett was diagnosed with skin cancer four years ago, which then turned into lymphoma, sources with direct knowledge told TMZ on Saturday morning.
His battle with cancer ultimately led to his early death, according to the outlet.
“He lived his life in the sun, literally and figuratively,” a close friend told TMZ.
Buffett went into hospice care last Monday, according to the outlet.
Sir Paul McCartney went to Buffett’s house and sang for his family a week ago, TMZ’s sources revealed.

Buffett was in and out of the hospital in the months before his death. He was initially admitted in May, according to CNN.
The musician had to postpone a Jimmy Buffett & the Coral Reefer Band concert in Charleston, South Carolina because of the unforeseen hospital stay.
At the time, Buffett shared the sad news with his fans: “Two days ago, I was just back from a trip to the Bahamas, thawing out from the California ‘winter tour,’ and chomping at the bit to get to Charleston.
“I had to stop in Boston for a check-up but wound up back in the hospital to address some issues that needed immediate attention.”
Buffett’s family announced his death on Saturday.
“Jimmy passed away peacefully on the night of September 1st 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,” the family wrote in a statement.
Buffett leaves behind his wife of 46 years, Jane Slagsvol, and their three children.
He shared two daughters with Slagsvol – Savannah Jane, born in 1979, and Sarah Delaney, born in 1992.
They also adopted a son, Cameron Marley, born in 1994.
