Jimmy Buffett

"He had my grandfather’s twinkle in his eye to the end and he was very clear that the music, the party, and the good life was to continue with his robust optimism in tow."

Bryan toasted Buffett's life and legacy with a performance of "Margaritaville."

The build-up to the show and what started to happen afterward were quiet clues that his health was worse than he let on.

Keith Urban stopped his show in Atlantic City to remember his friend Jimmy Buffett.

He later satirized the incident in a song.

The two stars had a little-known connection.

"I feel very proud of surviving," he said not too long ago. "I'm still out there — where would I go?"

He sure knew how to live the good life.

Buffett died "peacefully" on Friday night, according to a statement.

The two shared a friendship and a love for the ocean.
