Parrotheads had good reason to be upset this week.
Beloved "Margaritaville" singer Jimmy Buffett was released from an Australian hospital on Thursday, a day after he took a horrifying fall off the stage during a concert in Sydney.
"Jimmy has been released from the hospital and is doing well," reads a statement on margaritaville.com, though a concert planned for Saturday in New Zealand has been canceled.
In video footage, the 64-year-old singer is seen stepping off the front of the stage at Hordern Pavilion and falling to the concrete floor.
Dr. Gordian Fulde, head of the emergency department at St. Vincent's Hospital in Sydney, said Buffett "really took a very nasty tumble."
"He just didn't see the drop in front of the stage," Fulde, who was at the concert, told Australia's Seven Network.
"I heard the crack and I thought this guy has broken his neck. He had a head injury and he lost consciousness ... [but] scans show that he's OK," Fulde added.
Whew! Sounds like it was a close call. Buffett had just finished singing the line, "It's been a lovely cruise, I'm sorry it's ended," when he fell off the stage and was rushed to a hospital.
Audience member Dan Bateman, 30, told The Daily Telegraph that Buffett fell face first off the stage.
"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,'' Bateman said. "Everyone was pretty horrified.''
Buffett is the latest celebrity to have a frightening, disturbing or just plain embarrassing onstage moment circulate through the media.

None of the above
This was by far one of the worst onstage accidents I can remember in recent history: It was the Rhode Island Night Club fire in 2003 during a white stripes concert. It was estimated that at least 90-100 people died in that fire.
Millie Vanillie lipsynch fail
I recall watching this episode and feeling so sorry for Berle. No one in the audience laughed at his monologue. He called them a bunch of "Boobies." If they laughed at all, they were laughing at an old man who was trying to be funny. Berle criticized the SNL audience and asked what the hell was wrong with them as he was broke down before their eyes. It was sad to witness.
This episode was also barred from rebroadcast for over twenty years until February 2003, when an edited version was shown on E!; it twice aired in full in Canada on The Comedy Network in 2001. Lorne Michaels felt that the broadcast, and Berle in particular, brought the show down.
This incident was a glowing example of the limitless insanity that political correctness promotes; Goldberg and Behar should have been fired and the View should have been taken off of the air.
Are there Muslim extremists and Muslim moderates?
Since there is no such thing as moderate Islam, how can there be such a thing as a moderate Muslim?
Islam is a religion of extremes; to call any Muslim an extremist is redundant.
I don't mean some guy at your job you -know of-
Quite a prejudicial and ignorant statement.
The statements I made were neither predujdicial nor ignorant but based on verifiable facts.
Your statements are based on political correctness and normalcy bias.
And if you think that you really know some Muslims, you should consider that they are experts at deception; one of Muhammad's sayings was "War is deceit."
O you who believe! Take not the Jews and Christians as Aullya (friends, protectors, helpers, etc.), they are but Aullya to one another. And if any amongst you takes them as Aullya, then surely he is one of them." (Qur'an 5:51)
You shouldn't hold strong opinions on groups of people you know nothing about. That makes you an ignorant [...] You also reflect poorly on the rest of us Americans.
***My statements are based on the Muslims I am blessed to call friends over the years. Two of whom I just spoke with yesterday, one had just fled Cairo were he was working back to Jordan. They are moral and just people, devoted to their families, faith, happiness and all the same thing the rest of us are. They are also as different and varied as any other group of people in this world.
Nothing to do with political correctness, that's life experience. Being former military and a .mil brat I've lived all over and abroad.
So put down the Glen Beck - Nazi tourettes routine. Go outside, meet some people who are fundamentally different than you. I know that might be hard since you are probably from some backward white trash sister f--king part of the country. (Yes I lived in the Dixie South for 7 years before you start that argument btw many friends there too) Judging from your pic you got about 20 years on me pal, and some serious catching up to do.
Don't waste calories on a response, I already have you on ignore.
They got what they deserved.
"get of the stage jack ass...'
LMFAO. I dont think she knew about it but im pulling looked deliberate. The superbowl half time people liked banded pop for 3 years because of this lol

"Every time I see your face...
