2023 CMA Awards: Jimmy Buffett Honored With Moving Tribute Performance

Gone, but not forgotten. The late Jimmy Buffett was honored with a star-studded tribute at the 2023 CMA Awards on Wednesday.

Country music icons Kenny Chesney, Alan Jackson, the Zac Brown Band and Mac McAnally — a member of Buffett’s Coral Reefer Band — joined forces for a moving performance on stage at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee.

The special tribute performance included a medley of some of Buffett’s most beloved hits, including an emotional and poignant cover of “A Pirate Looks at Forty,” as well as an enthusiastic and memorable performance of “Margaritaville.”

The “Margaritaville” singer died at the age of 76 on Sept. 1 from Merkel cell carcinoma — a skin cancer. He is survived by his wife, Jane, his daughters, Savannah and Sarah, and son, Cameron.
