Bubbles up is his new single...

“It seems that so many wonderful people are leaving this world, and now Jimmy Buffett is one of them,” Paul McCartney said in a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. “I’ve known Jimmy for some time and found him to be one of the kindest and most generous people.”

McCartney, who joined Buffett on a song for his upcoming album, recalled one of the new tracks Buffett had played for him called “Bubbles Up.”

“He turned a diving phrase that is used to train people underwater into a metaphor for life,” The Beatles’ lead singer wrote. “When you’re confused and don’t know where you are just follow the bubbles – they’ll take you up to the surface and straighten you out right away.”

“So long, Jim. You are a very special man and friend and it was a great privilege to get to know you and love you. Bubbles up, my friend,” he added.
