Paul McCartney’s feature on a posthumous Buffett song
Paul McCartney played on the song My Gummy Just Kicked In, Buffett’s final, posthumously released album.
Shortly after Buffett passed away on September 1, 2023, he wrote a lengthy homage to his friend on Instagram, stating in part:
“He had a most amazing lust for life and a beautiful sense of humor. When we swapped tales about the past, his were so exotic and lush and involved sailing trips and surfing and so many exciting stories that it was hard for me to keep up with him,. Right up to the last minute his eyes still twinkled with a humor that said, ‘I love this world and I’m going to enjoy every minute of it’. So many of us will miss Jimmy and his tremendous personality. His love for us all, and for mankind as a whole.”
