Taking to Instagram a few days before his death, Jimmy Buffett took a trip down memory lane with a video that showed him performing alongside Paul McCartney and Jon Bon Jovi. In the clip, Buffett strummed the guitar while McCartney played the piano as the trio belted out the lyrics to The Beatles’ 1968 single “Hey Jude.” Buffett included a simple caption, reading, “#withalittlehelpfrommyfriends #flashbackfun #summer2016.” Unsurprisingly, fans took to the comments section, sharing their excitement over the pair’s performance. “Absolutely love it that we are still blessed enough to have these guys still making music for us,” one user commented. Buffett’s post was an excerpt from his performance with McCartney and Bon Jovi at a Hilary Clinton Fundraiser event hosted back in 2016, according to the Daily Mail.
Buffett, a legend in his own right, was longtime friends with McCartney. Though it’s unclear how their friendship came to be, McCartney and Buffett seemingly exchanged singing and songwriting advice from time to time. “We’ve become friends from knowing each other in St. Barts and our wives are friends. You get Paul McCartney talking to you about what you ought to do on an album, and you listen,” Buffett once told Billboard.

In addition to McCartney, the “Margaritaville” star was also good friends with Bon Jovi. “Jimmy, sail on my good friend. Luv u. JBJ,” Bon Jovi wrote in his tribute to Buffett.
