Warren Buffett fans hoping to hear the Sage of Omaha sing to celebrate the Chinese New Year will be disappointed.
Buffett has recorded a greeting that will appear on the website of China's annual Chinese New Year show later this month, but contrary to recent reports this will not be accompanied by a song, writes the Wall Street Journal.
A production executive for the broadcast told a press conference on Thursday that Buffett would sing a song and play guitar in the online version of this year's Spring Festival gala.
However, Buffett appears to be unhappy with plans to show previous footage of him singing and playing the ukulele to "I've Been Working on the Railroad".
His presence in the show will now be limited to a video of him wishing Chinese viewers a happy New Year.
Last year Buffett held a banquet with Bill Gates for Chinese billionaires in order to promote philanthropic interests. His business interests in China include Berkshire Hathaway's near 10% stake in Chinese electric car manufacturer BYD.
