Buffett, 64, hit his head and was bleeding, an audience member told The Daily Telegraph. He was subsequently rushed to Sydney's St Vincent's Hospital.
Breaking Celebrity News spoke by phone with hospital spokesperson Denise Coughlan who told us: "Mr Buffett was brought to us at around 11.30pm on Wednesday evening. His latest condition update is stable, although he is still under observation."
Breaking Celebrity News has also learned that Buffet has been responsive with the hospital staff who have been treating him since his fall.
Dan Bateman, a concertgoer who witnessed the fall, said Buffet careened face first following a rendition of Lovely Cruise.
