Jimmy Barnes has revealed his health has taken another turn one year after having emergency hip surgery and being forced to undertake months of bed rest.
Taking to Facebook earlier this week, the Working Class Man singer revealed he is currently in hospital being treated for bacterial pneumonia
and would have to cancel his upcoming show.
Barnes wrote in the post, “I’m sorry to let you know that I’ve been receiving intravenous antibiotics over the last 36 hours to treat bacterial pneumonia,” adding, “Unfortunately, this has stopped me travelling to Noumea to join Rock The Boat 2023 as planned.”
Despite the absence of their main man, Barnes revealed his band as well as his daughter Mahalia Barnes, 41, whom he shares with his wife Jane, will continue to perform at the show as well as a couple of other special guests.
“I’d like to apologise sincerely to everyone for the inconvenience and disappointment this has caused, but the doctors have confined me to bed for two days.” he regretfully informed fans adding, “The timing couldn’t be worse.”
