(NewsNation) — In his new book, Kenny Chesney is opening up about his friendship with late friend Jimmy Buffett.

In his upcoming book “Heart Life Music,” Kenny shares his “favorite Jimmy story,” according to People Magazine.

"When I went to my first Jimmy Buffett show, I had just moved to Nashville, and I had no money. It was pouring rain, and I was up in the grass (at Starwood Amphitheater) where you go when you can't afford a real seat,” Chesney told People Magazine in an interview.

He added that seeing Buffett perform changed his life because it was his first time seeing someone give so much on stage while connecting with the audience. • Kenny Chesney at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards held at the Dolby Theatre on March 17, 2025 in Los Angeles, California.
