Buffett added, “Growing old is not for sissies, I promise you. 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.”

He concluded, “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. Thank you for your prayers and thoughts, your amazing years of loyalty, and just remember, ‘NOT YET!'”

A rescheduled date for Buffett’s Charleston show is currently being determined. Original tickets will be honored on the rescheduled date.

 

Buffett ran into some undisclosed health issues in September 2022 that resulted in the postponement and cancelation of a handful of shows. At the time, a statement read, “Due to health issues and brief hospitalization, Jimmy will need to refrain from touring for the rest of the year. On doctor’s orders, he must take this time to recuperate and heal. Jimmy looks forward to getting back on stage next year.”
