A fan using his phone caught Jimmy's fall on camera at the end of a concert in Sydney.
Jimmy Buffett Falls Off Stage In Australia
Buffett was rushed to the hospital, but a representative said that he is doing well.
Australia's Daily Telegraph reports that audience members saw the 64-year-old fall face first off the stage and hit his head. Buffett's manager then took the stage and urged fans to leave the auditorium.
"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 ... we were told to leave the premises," audience member Dan Bateman said.
"No one really wanted to leave because everyone was anxious to know if he survived the fall. Everyone was pretty horrified," Bateman added.
Another audience member told TMZ.com that it appeared as though Buffett was unconscious and had gashed his head.
The singer was brought to Sydney's St. Vincent's Hospital where he had a CAT scan that was normal.
Before this concert series, Buffett had not performed in Australia for two decades. The Daily Telegraph reported that during the show, the singer apologized to the crowd for not playing in the country for 20 years, and promised to return in 2012.
Buffett is scheduled to perform in Auckland, New Zealand, Saturday, and has additional concert dates booked in the United States starting April 16th. He is also lined up to perform in this spring's New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.
