Jimmy Buffett went to the doctor, but wound up in the hospital. The singer says he had an issue that required immediate attention and is postponing a concert scheduled for Saturday (May 20).
Currently, there are no other dates on Buffett’s 2023 calendar. The nature of his health problem has not been shared, but on Facebook he jokes that “growing old is not for sissies.”
- A rescheduled date for the May 20 show in Charleston, S.C., has not been announced.
- Buffett was in Boston when he was admitted into the hospital.
- Last September, he canceled or postponed all remaining 2022 concerts after being hospitalized.
“Two days ago,” the “Margaritaville” singer writes on Facebook, “I was just back from a trip to the Bahamas, thawing out from the California ‘winter tour’ and chomping at the bit to get to Charleston. I had to stop in Boston for a check-up but wound up back in the hospital to address some issues that needed immediate attention.”
To wrap his note, Buffett thanks fans for all they’ve given him and promises he’ll be back on stage when his health allows it.
Setlist.fm lists 12 concerts played in 2023 for Buffett, including a stop in San Diego on May 6. The 76-year-old keeps a busy touring schedule most years — he’s popped up in country music circles recently as a duet partner for Zac Brown Band’s “Same Boat” and a co-writer for the theme song to Blake Shelton Barmaggedon TV show.

The interior centers around a combined dining and living room with eye-popping vaulted ceilings topped off by skylights, while a massive wall of mahogany-framed sliding glass doors looks out over the pool area outside. The kitchen is decorated in gleaming white, and each of the bedrooms has its own attached bathroom, while the massive master suite also has sliding glass doors that open to both the pool and a bathroom that looks like it belongs in a high-end resort.
The exterior of the house is just as striking, centered around a sparkling pool of deep cobalt blue. The pool area features plenty of lounging, and a loggia just outside the living room offers open-air dining. There are lush gardens, brick paths that walk through elaborate pergolas and a fountain. The property also features a two-car garage with a guest suite overhead, and it offers deeded access to the beach nearby.
