Key West, 1975 |
64 (!) year old Jimmy Buffett is reported to be in stable condition after falling face-first from the stage at the end of a concert in Sydney, Australia. The Daily Telegraph reports:
AFTER singing "It's been a lovely cruise, I'm sorry it's ended" singer Jimmy Buffett crashed off the stage after his final Sydney concert last night and was rushed to hospital with a head injury.
Shocked fans at the sell-out concert at the Hordern Pavilion were urged to leave the auditorium by Buffett's Australian tour manager Michael Chugg as the 64-year-old entertainer lay on the floor in front of the first row of seating waiting for paramedics and an ambulance to arrive.
He was rushed to Sydney's St Vincent's Hospital, in Darlinghurst, thirty minutes after the accident.
Neither Chugg nor his assistant David Pope would comment on Buffett's condition at the scene but an audience member said it appeared the entertainer had struck his head and was bleeding as he lay on the floor.
As long time Buffett fans, we wish him well and remind all senior citizens to step back from the edge of the stage. Here's the Telegraph's concert review.
Update: Jimmy's out of the hospital and "doing well."
