The "Margaritaville" singer shared a message with fans about some recent health issues.
WASHINGTON — Music legend Jimmy Buffett was forced to cancel an upcoming concert after landing in the hospital.
The "Margaritaville" singer explained in a message to fans that he "had a sudden change of plans this week that affected us all." He shared that two days ago he returned from a trip to the Bahamas and stopped in Boston for a medical check-up "but wound up back in the hospital to address some issues that needed immediate attention."
Further details about the 76-year-old's hospitalization were not immediately released.
As a result, Buffett said he's rescheduling a concert planned for this Saturday in Charleston. The show had been announced just last week and was the only remaining show listed for 2023.
"Growing old is not for sissies, I promise you," Buffett described. "I also will promise you, that when I am well enough to perform, that is what I'll be doing in the land of She-Crab soup. You all make my life more meaningful and fulfilled than I would have ever imagined as a toe headed little boy sitting on the edge of the Gulf of Mexico."

Several of his recent West Coast performances, including a pair of shows in Las Vegas and San Diego, were makeup shows from last fall.
