Jimmy Barnes gives fans a health update after being rushed to hospital for emergency hip surgery

Jimmy Barnes has given fans an update after undergoing emergency surgery earlier this month.

The Cold Chisel singer, 68, recently underwent hip surgery after experiencing severe pain following a series of shows in New Zealand.

He took to Instagram over the weekend to tell his fans how happy he was to finally be at home recovering.

Sharing a picture of himself on the mend, the rock star was all smiles as he ate his dinner in bed.

He also shared pictures of his home garden, complete with a range of different flowers and adorable cherub statues.

The Working Class Man hitmaker then revealed that he ‘felt great.’

‘I can’t tell you how great it feels to be back in my own bed, back to our home and the beautiful garden. Of course being very spoilt.’

Jimmy recently noticed a pain in his hip and had to be rushed to hospital for surgery.

At the time, he updated his fans on his health situation via his social media. 

‘I’ve got some bad news unfortunately,’ Jimmy said in a Facebook post.

‘I had a twinge in my hip when I was leaving Dunedin (NZ) on Thursday morning and by late last night the pain was unbearable so I went off to hospital.

‘The doctors have recommended a remedial medical procedure ASAP followed by some physio to address the issue. These doctors don’t muck around!’

‘Providing all goes to plan, I’m expected to make a full recovery in six weeks.’

Jimmy continued: ‘However, as a result of this unexpected surgery my August and September solo shows will all be impacted.’

‘Ticket holders will be contacted with further info in the coming days once we have new plans in place.

‘As you know, I hate to let anyone down, but I’m also never going to compromise the quality of my gigs. I apologise for the inconvenience this will cause everyone – I HATE moving shows! – but thank you for understanding.’

Included in the post was a picture of Jimmy giving the thumbs up from his hospital bed while his wife Jane posed beside him.

Jimmy’s cancelled gigs included concerts in Wyong, Toowoomba, Thirroul, Canberra and the Sydney Opera House.

Only last month Jimmy appeared to be well on the mend following his shock health scare last year which saw him undergo open heart surgery. 

The singer looked fit as a fiddle as he ‘worked out’ in a boxing ring.

During a holiday with his wife Jane in Thailand, he shared a photo to Instagram in which he posed in his luxury hotel gym.

The singer was all smiles in the sweet picture as he hammed it up for the camera by holding up his arms in a boxer’s stance, as he jokingly prepared to spar.

He looked healthy and confident in the picture, as he flashed his trademark cheeky grin to the camera.
