The Zac Brown Band included Buffett on “Knee Deep,” a No. 1 hit from 2011.
Even McCartney cut a song with Buffett for the posthumous Equal Strain on All Parts album.
Jon Bon Jovi, Jackson Browne, Brandi Carlile, Sheryl Crow, Scotty Emerick, Jack Johnson, Caroline Jones, Mac McAnally, Pitbull and Jake Shimabukuro are also signed on for the Jimmy Buffett tribute show, with more special guests possible.
Buffett was honored at the 2024 Grammys during the In Memoriam segment. Chesney and Zac Brown Band led a touching tribute at the 2023 CMA Awards last November.
