Jimmy Barnes celebrates special milestone
Jimmy Barnes has celebrated his 43rd wedding anniversary with his wife Jane, a few months after he underwent open heart surgery.
The rock star, 68, marked the occasion on Thursday by posting a series of photos of him and Jane over the years to Instagram.
"43 years married and we both forgot that our anniversary was today," he wrote in the caption.
"It doesn’t matter though because everyday is special to us. I love you my darling," he added.
One of the photos was a recent snap of the couple cuddling up to each other while reading their books by the fireplace.
The second photo was a black-and-white throwback picture from their wedding in 1981, and the couple were gazing lovingly at each other.
Famous friends and fans took to the comments to congratulate the couple on their milestone.
"Ohhhhhh so gorgeous. Happy anniversary," singer Kate Cebrano said.
"Happy Anniversary you two," added Noiseworks singer Jon Stevens.
"Happy Anniversary to you both and wishing you many more to come ," wrote one fan.
"Happy Anniversary you wonderful humans," Jimmy's son and TV presenter David Campbell wrote.
The rock star shares David Campbell with his previous partner Kim Campbell. He also has two daughters Amanda Bennett and Megan Torzyn from previous relationships.
Jimmy and Jane share four children - daughters Mahalia, 41, EJ, 39, and Elly-May, 34, and a son Jackie, 38.
Late last year, the singer had a life-threatening infection that attacked his heart and he had to undergo emergency open heart surgery.
Reflecting on his health struggles, he admitted that he didn't think he was going to make it.
"I just had this horrible morbid feeling because I've never felt this sick before. I thought I was gone," he previously told 60 minutes.
The surgery lasted seven hours and physicians successfully replaced his damaged valves.
Five months on, his recovery has been going well, with the singer walking his daughter down the aisle in March and even returned to the stage for the first time last month.
