Buffett released from hospital after fall from stage

Wednesday, January 26, 2011 – Jimmy Buffett was released from an Australian hospital Wednesday after falling off the stage last night during a concert in Sydney.

Buffett reportedly was unconscious for several minutes with his head bleeding. Paramedics went to Buffett, while concertgoers were told to leave.

"Jimmy has been released from the hospital and is doing well," his web site said.

Australia newspaper The Daily Telegraph said Buffett was finishing the encore at the Hordem Pavillion and singing, "It's been a lovely cruise, I'm sorry it's ended," when he collapsed into a pit at the front of the stage.

Buffett has one more date on his tour, Sunday, in Auckland, New Zealand. It was unclear if he would go ahead with the show.

His strongest material has traditionally been the slice of life tunes to which many people can readily identify. Those songs are plentiful including his first single, "Bama Breeze," "the title cut ...
Inspiration sometimes comes from some mighty unusual places. Jimmy Buffett seems to have found his among the more familiar voices in country music. Not that Buffett and country are recent bedfellows. The journalism graduate had more than a few steel guitar flourishes on his early albums and many country stars have mentioned the Buffett lifestyle by name or open reference over the past few years. So a disc that about half solo Buffett and half collaborative efforts with country superstars not only ...
