Jimmy Buffett, the beloved singer-songwriter known for his sun-drenched songs, died Saturday at the age of 76 due to complications from Merkel cell carcinoma, a rare and aggressive form of skin cancer. His last performance was a surprise appearance in Rhode Island in early July, and he passed away at his home in Sag Harbor, New York. His death is a reminder of the importance of protecting oneself from the sun's UV rays to reduce the risk of skin cancer.
