“He lived his life like a song till the very last breath and will be missed beyond measure by so many.”
According to TMZ, “sources with direct knowledge” said Jimmy’s cause of death was skin cancer that developed into lymphoma.
Per the publication, a close friend of the music icon said: “He lived his life in the sun, literally and figuratively.”
The outlet continued: “Jimmy began receiving hospice care last Monday and there was an outpouring of love from friends and family.
“We’re told a week ago Sir Paul McCartney came to Jimmy’s house and sang to Jimmy’s family.”
Before passing, Jimmy had been hospitalized at least twice which forced him to postpone three of his concerts and cancel two others.
He was told by doctors he’d have to “refrain from touring” for at least a year while he recovered, according to his website at the time.
He began touring again in February last year but had to stop months later, after returning to the hospital to “address issues that needed immediate attention”.
His last appearance on stage was in Rhode Island where the singer performed half a dozen songs barefooted at a Mac McAnally concert.
