Jimmy Buffett was given an all-star Hollywood send-off with Paul McCartney joining Eagles on stage to perform his Beatles classic ‘Let It Be’.
Sir Paul came on stage and greeted the audience saying “Hollywood Fucking Bowl”.
“I had the great honour of knowing Jimmy, like everyone else on the bill tonight has said ‘this is one great man’. He was generous, he was funny, he done just about everything in his life. I was on holiday with him and I forgot to bring my guitar so he has his own guitar strung left-handed for me. Then the next time I saw him he had one custom-made left-handed for me”.
In the last week of his life I was invited up to his house by Janie. I was invited up to sing a few songs with Jimmy and in a pretty bad way he still had that twinkle in his eye”.
One of the songs they sang was ‘Let It Be’. Watch Paul’s performance with Eagles.
