Eagles Honor Jimmy Buffett at Farewell Tour Kickoff

When the Eagles began their "Long Goodbye" farewell tour on September 7, 2023, it was nearly a week after Buffett's death at age 76 from skin cancer.

The Eagles took a moment during their show to honor their friend by performing two of his songs: "Come Monday" and "Fins."

As previously reported, Don Henley said during the show, "Jimmy Buffett is now sailing on that cosmic ocean, having that cheeseburger with Glenn [Frey] and Randy [Meisner]. We always like to laugh and say we survived the '70s together." Joe Walsh then added, "Jimmy and I got thrown out of some of the finest hotels in the world."

Buffett famously inducted the Eagles into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1998. He recalled his interactions with the Eagles over the years. Buffett often was an opening act for the band on various bills and tours. He made a point to recognize the Eagles for always treating him with respect, even though he was often their opener.

"I was the apprentice in the workshop, and I was glad to be there," said Buffett. " ... It was the little things I was privileged to witness backstage that helped me survive and become a better performer."
