Iconic singer Jimmy Buffett has canceled his tour for the remainder of the year, citing unspecified health issues and a "brief hospitalization." The 75-year-old, best known for hits like "Margaritaville" and "Come Monday," said he plans to resume touring next year.
"Due to health issues and brief hospitalization, Jimmy will need to refrain from touring for the rest of the year," the tour said in a statement that Buffett posted to Twitter. "On doctor's orders, he must take this time to recuperate and heal. Jimmy looks forward to getting back on stage next year."
The statement did not provide specifics about Buffett's health issues or hospitalization.

On Monday, thousands of military family members and locals are headed to trial seeking financial compensation.
