Jimmy Barnes, an iconic Australian rock legend, has always been known for his powerful voice and dynamic stage presence.
But recently, he's been in the spotlight for a different reason—his remarkable recovery following a serious health scare.
Just two months after undergoing open heart surgery, Barnes looked the picture of health as he proudly walked his daughter Eliza-Jane down the aisle on her wedding day.
The wedding, which took place on 28 February, was a joyous occasion for the Barnes family, and Jimmy's appearance was a testament to his resilience and determination.
The ceremony was held at The Stables on Berrima’s Bendooley Estate, a picturesque venue with the perfect backdrop for such a memorable event.
The entire Barnes clan attended, including Jimmy's wife Jane, his eldest son David Campbell, and the rest of his loving family.
Jimmy's choice to wear a kilt was a nod to his Scottish heritage, adding a personal touch to the beautiful ceremony.
The bride, Eliza-Jane, looked stunning in a bohemian-style gown, complete with a floral crown that echoed the natural beauty of the setting.
The heartfelt moment when Jimmy and Eliza-Jane sang together as they walked down the aisle was a highlight of the day, showcasing the close bond between father and daughter.
The wedding photos captured the happiness of the day and the love shared within the family.
‘Teddy’s parents got married. We sang together as I walked EJ down the aisle to give her away, and nothing could have made me more proud,’ Jimmy said on his social media.
‘EJ sang her vows in a love song she wrote for her Jim. Jim joined our family, and we joined the Metherell clan. What more could a man wish for than the blessing of all these extraordinary loved ones around me.’

Jimmy's health troubles began in November when he was rushed to the hospital for bacterial pneumonia.
He was later sent to the intensive care unit in December as a bacterial infection had spread to his heart.
The infection affected a valve that had been previously replaced due to a congenital defect. The urgency of the situation led to open heart surgery.
The surgery required Jimmy to cancel his remaining gigs, which was ‘hugely frustrating’ for the rock star, who had been in excellent physical shape before the health issue arose.
Now, with his successful recovery, Jimmy Barnes is set to return to the stage with a highly anticipated performance at Bluesfest Byron Bay on 31 March.
‘What better way is there to kick it off than the legendary Bluesfest Byron Bay with a really special celebration of Flesh and Wood,’ he recently shared on his social media.
‘I really want to thank everyone for their support and good wishes while I was ill. The family were passing on your messages of care, and it really lifted my spirits.’
