Representatives for Jimmy Buffett announced that he must cancel the rest of his 2022 tour dates per “doctors orders” after a “brief hospitalization” for health issues that were not shared.

In a message posted on social media Tuesday, the 75-year-old rocker posted a statement indicating Buffett’s “Life on the Flipside-Redux” tour would be cut short.

“Due to health issues and brief hospitalization, Jimmy will need to refrain from touring for the rest of the year,” the statement read. “On doctor’s orders, he must take this time to recuperate and heal.”

“Jimmy looks forward to getting back on stage next year,” the message added.

“We appreciate your understanding,” it continued. “Fans with tickets to the rescheduled dates are encouraged to hold on to your tickets as they will be honored at the rescheduled shows in 2023….”

The tour dates affected are all in October, including shows in Las Vegas, San Diego, and Idaho. Most of the dates have been rescheduled for next year. Details can be seen here.

Buffett has been performing with his Coral Reefer Band for years as he’s crossed the country performing his music along with other songs across genres, Rolling Stone magazine noted.

The “Margaritaville” hitmaker’s latest tour is named after his album, “Life on the Flipside.” It came out in 2020 and, at the time, was his first in the last seven years.

That same year, Buffett spoke to the outlet about how to “live like it’s your last day,” the name of his latest song.

“When you’ve had a couple of close calls — an airplane crash, a stage dive — you think you’re probably living on borrowed time,” the superstar singer shared. “So I kind of do choose to live like it’s my last day.”

“You never know,” he added. “At 73, you’re losing a lot of friends, and it’s a constant progression towards … y’know, what’s there. Everybody goes at some point.”

Later, he was asked how he would like to be remembered. Buffet said he would like to be known as the guy who “had a good time and made a lot of people happy.”
