Jimmy Barnes roasted by fans
Jimmy Barnes was left mortified after he awkwardly confused a blowtorch for a microphone and attempted to sing into it.
The legendary hitmaker, 66, shared a hilarious photo of the mishap to Facebook, which captured him screaming into the device while waving at the camera.
Thankfully for Barnes, the blowtorch was turned off, so he was not injured by the blunder.
“PLEASE DO NOT try this at home, or anywhere. When you've been singing on stage for 50 years and have four months off, everything looks like a microphone,” he captioned the photo.
Barnes’ followers were quick to drop their opinion, also begging him to be more careful.
"Oh no, Jimmy is hallucinating,” one fan wrote commented, while another said he needed to go to Specsavers to buy a pair of glasses.
"Mate, take a rest,” a third fan added.
The concerns came after the singer announced he was cancelling his summer tour in order to receive urgent back and hip surgery to relieve chronic pain.
He’s been active on social media since his operation, giving fans regular updates on his recovery.
During an interview on The Project, he said he would like to write a new album and finish a book during his downtime.
The singer admitted he hated to “let people down”, referring to making the challenging decision to cancel his tour.
He said he only cancelled the shows because he feared that he would not be able to deliver the high-quality shows his fans expect.
Barnes is currently recovering in his second home in Thailand with his wife, Jane.
