Singer Jimmy Buffett falls off the stage in Sydney, taken to hospital

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.

--SNIP--

Audience member Dan Bateman, 30, told The Daily Telegraph Buffett fell face first off the stage.

"We were in the 10th row and it looked like he did a massive face plant after his encore and pretty much didn't get up,'' Mr Bateman, from Cairns, said.

"We were told to leave the premises. No one really wanted to leave because everyone was anxious to know if he survived the fall. Everyone was pretty horrified.''

He's too old to be doing that.  He should leave that kind of stuff to the kids.

I guess the new single "A Pirate Looks At Stage-Diving" failed miserably.

Hope he is going to be OK.

A pirate looks at... No. No jokes till I know he's ok. The guy is a national treasure down here. Once the all clear is given though, jokes are coming. Get well Jimmy.

I've done work on his yacht the "Continental Drifter III" here in Fl., met him several times, including when I was a kid dishwasher/busboy, 25 years ago at the No Name Pub, on Big Pine Key. He partied harder and fell more often back then.

He's got a good heart and a hard head. I hope and pray he's alright.

Some people claim there's a woman to blame.  Get well soon, Jimmy!
