Jan 26 (THAINDIAN NEWS) During a concert held in Sydney, Australia Wednesday, singer Jimmy Buffet was knocked unconscious when he fell off of the stage, according to a report from ‘TMZ”. The sixty four year old is said to be in stable condition at a local hospital after suffering a huge gash to his head, and remaining unconscious for about ten minutes.

A witness by the name of Sean Fogerty told TMZ that the effects person for Buffet’s show “splashed” a huge flash of light which temporarily blinded much of the front row. The light, which was supposed to be lightening, caused Buffet to lose vision as well, and he fell off of the front of the stage, and crashed into the metal edge as he dropped to the floor.

The audience could not tell at first that the star had fallen, since the light lasted for about ten seconds. Buffet has performed two sold out shows in the Opera House in Sydney before this show at the Hordern Pavilion, which was also sold out. The fall can be seen in the video embedded below.
