In my humble opinion, I do not believe Mr. Jimmy Buffett will stop touring. He will be another Mr. B. B. King. (By the way, Mr. B. B. King is still touring and is 79 years old.) I believe Mr. Buffett is going to keep going...he may take a year off or maybe a year and a half, but the road will call him again and he'll be right back at it. He appears to be unstoppable.

Just going by what Jimmy said. hope he is lying, but he sounded serious this time.

You still haven't explained how you got to talk with the man, and he confided this secret to you..

I met him in April 2004 on a beach in Florida. We talked about 10 minutes and i got a pic with him. when we were talking he said he wasn't going to tour much longer. He said 2 more times and that was the day before the 2004 LTC tour started in Tampa. So if he is correct, just do the math. This will be his last tour. For awhile? Who knows? Just repeating what he told me and what he told the crowd in Orlando in Nov. Hope he is wrong.

Or are you a scalper trying to drive up prices for this year's tour?

I wish i had the $$$ i have paid those f__king scalpers to see his shows. Whatever you think man. i got the pic to prove it.

I'm not doubting that he said that...he has hinted at retirement before. We'll see what happens, but I would be very shocked if it all came to a screeching halt this soon after so many big events and firsts.

I don't think it'll ever come to a screeching halt.... but it may get cut way back again, like it did a few years ago... I think Jimmy will keep playing, albeit in smaller venues, and maybe unannounced, until he physically can't any more (which is, hopefully, many years from now...)

I still haven't found on this thread where it says how these people got these "unconfirmed" tour dates and when exactly the shows go on sale and where. I would like to know when the Carolina tour dates go on sale.

Looks like Jimmy will be playing Margaritaville and Cheeseburger in Paradise, Myrtle Beach around the February time as well. Very possibly.

Sometimes the club presidents get a heads up, so they can give input on club ticket requests. Sometimes people hear a bit of info from someone at a venue. Sometimes it's just pure rumor. Thus the "unconfirmed"...

You can count on the date when it appears on Margaritaville.com.

I live in Columbia,SC and on a few of the country stations here said they will announce on Monday morning of a concert date. The DJ also said as a hint, get ready for some tailgating and a few margaritas. So at 7:20am tomorrow it will be confirmed.

Wahoo...time to call and book the Holiday Inn.
Just hope this year that the water heater doesn't
burst like last year, with only 1 working elevator...

Any confirmation?

Also, back to the touring issue, Jimmy has always says he will continue to tour as long as it is fun. Based on last year's show, I think he will be around for awhile.

I was at the Orlando show and missed him announcing about him retiring.

When did he say this?

it wasn't an announcement, Molly. he just said "we'll be back for another year" at the end of the show. "year" singular, not "years" plural.... might mean absolutely nothing!
