Familiar tune of health issues befall ageing stars

Just when we believed that 80 was the new 60 and 60 was the new 40 and 40 was the new 30, Jimmy Barnes goes under the knife.

He’s 67, and uses social media like a teen. He makes us feel young, even alerting fans to his emergency surgery for a bacterial infection that had spread to his heart – via Instagram.

And then the thank you, after the operation, came on X; a testament to how Jimmy Barnes has grown and kept his massive audience base through social media.

How many of us tuned into Facebook during COVID lockdowns for the Jimmy and Jane show; to see the couple entertain us with regular tunes?

He might be Scottish-born, but he’s shown over and over he’s Aussie to the core. Forever Jimmy. Forever 50.

No. He’s 67.........
