BOSTON - Jimmy Buffett says he's ready to "get myself back in good shape," after he was hospitalized in Boston for health issues "that needed immediate attention."

The "Margaritaville" singer thanked fans for their support and well-wishes in a post on Friday. He said he would be heading home for some fishing and sailing, and working on his health.

"Once I am in shape, we will look at the when's and where's of shows," Buffett posted to Facebook. "I think playing is as therapeutic for me as it is for fans to listen and sing along."

The hospitalization forced Buffett to cancel a weekend show in Charlestown, South Carolina with his Coral Reefer Band. The 76-year-old also postponed tour dates at the end of 2022, citing health issues and a "brief hospitalization."

But Buffett seems optimistic that he'll be back on the road again soon.

"Looking forward to announcing a new date for Charleston as well as some new shows! Fins up!" Buffett wrote.
