Zac Brown Drops Pants After Performing New Single Inspired by Jimmy Buffett Called 'Pirates & Parrots'

Brown performed the new song at "Keep the Party Going: A Tribute to Jimmy Buffett"at the Hollywood Bowl on April 11

Zac Brown is remembering his friend Jimmy Buffett in a unique way!

Brown, 45, dropped his pants to reveal black shorts at the "Keep the Party Going: A Tribute to Jimmy Buffett" event at the Hollywood Bowl on Thursday night, April 11.

The silly stunt came after the Zac Brown Band debuted their upcoming single, "Pirates & Parrots" (feat. Mac McAnally) — a tribute to the late "Margaritaville" singer, who died of Merkel cell carcinoma in September 2023 at the age of 76. The "Why Don't We Get Drunk" singer was known for performing in shorts on stage throughout his career.

The Zac Brown Band's mellow ballad features the lyrics: "Adios my friend/Anchor where that ocean ends/We'll pick up where you left off/Strumming on a sailor's song." Brown initially debuted the chorus at the 2023 CMA Awards with Alan Jackson in November.

“I think this is the way Jimmy would’ve wanted!” Brown said, dropping his pants to reveal his shorts before he launched into "Knee Deep," his duet with Buffett.

"What a life. What a world. So proud to have been in the orbit of something so powerful and the things that I learned from him," Brown said of Buffett before performing. "I could hear advice from somebody that no one else could give."
