JIMMY BUFFETT’S DEATH HERALDS THE END OF SUMMER? The passing of American singer Jimmy Buffett at the age of 76 oddly symbolised the close of summer. The man who embodied eternal sunshine, sandy shores, azure oceans, and tropical breezes taught us the art of embracing our inner holiday spirit. He transformed his love for the decadent beach lifestyle into a multimillion-dollar empire, wrote AP, and we couldn’t agree more. From his iconic hit 'Margaritaville' to the beloved 'Cheeseburgers In Paradise,' he epitomised a perpetual beach vacation mentality, long before it became a cultural trend. He was the equivalent of Netflix and chilling, long before that became a byword for unwinding. While he may not have been a darling of critics, his devil-may-care attitude made him a beloved figure among the people. As we bid farewell to this Carpe Diem pop idol, the most fitting tribute is to savor our summers to the fullest. (By Manjusha Radhakrishnan, Entertainment Editor)
