Huge news for Jimmy Barnes fans
Two months after undergoing major heart surgery, Jimmy Barnes has announced his return to the stage.
Sharing a video to Instagram, the iconic rockstar said his highly-anticipated return to performing will happen on March 31st, as he takes to the stage for Bluesfest in Byron Bay.
“I can’t wait to get back on stage, in front of the band and playing for you all,” the 67-year-old said.
“I’m happy to announce that my first show back on stage this year will be at the legendary Byron Bay Bluesfest, where I’ll be playing a special Flesh and Wood (album) 30th anniversary show."
“It’s going a lot of fun ... I’ll see you there in just over a month.”
Bluesfest will just be the start of an epic tour for Barnes, as he has then locked in three shows for the Red Hot Summer Tour in the Hunter Valley, Launceston and Bendigo between April 6th and 27th.
Following this, he will be embarking on an epic journey around the country for his ‘Hell of a Time’ Tour, which Barnes said will be a "stripped back, intimate, regional theatre tour starting in June in Perth, and going through until mid August where I’ll be finishing at the Sydney Opera House."
Barnes finished his tour announcement video with a message to the fans who sent him well wishes during his difficult recovery period.
"Finally, 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," he said.
Jimmy underwent major heart surgery on December 13th after complications from a bacterial infection.
