After “leaking” the story last week, which we reported on here, Australian Today Show entertainment editor Richard Wilkens reiterated on the air this morning that Jimmy Buffett “is coming, definitely, for one show in Sydney in January.”

He said that he hopes to provide more details in the coming days.

As soon as we get any more info on the date or ticket sales, we’ll post right away. If you hear anything, please e-mail us.
