There is no doubt that Jimmy Buffett still has lot of fans worldwide as this was proved by the large turnout of people who came to witness the star performer on the Jan 18th benefit concert in Hong Kong that was organized to raise funds to support the needy children in Hong Kong. The response for this concert was so huge that the organizers had to apologize to many ardent fans, who could not get tickets to watch Jimmy Buffett perform live in their hometown. The event organizers said that their miscalculation of the Jim Buffett’s fan following and never expected people from China, Thailand and the Philippines to come and watch the show. The Hong Kong concert by Jimmy Buffett and his fans raised an astronomical sum of $420,000 and Jimmy was so very pleased to perform before such ardent fans that he said that he has plans to come back to Hong Kong next year to perform. The event organizers also praised the generosity of Jimmy Buffett for the charity concert as he performed the entire concert for free along with his band. The money collected from the sale of beer and tequila that was supplied by Jimmy was also donated to the charity.
