Jimmy Barnes’ devastating loss
Jimmy Barnes has announced that his wife’s mother Kusumphorn Visuthipol has passed away over the weekend.
The Aussie singer shared the devastating news on Twitter just days after saying his shows would be cancelled due to "a very grave illness" and that “family really must come first”.
“Our families' lives were all made richer because of this beautiful woman. @jane13barnes’ mum Kusumphorn lived an incredible life and I was lucky enough to be a part of it. You will be missed every single day. Rest In Peace Yai,” Barnes wrote on Twitter along with a photo of his mother-in-law.

His wife Jane also shared a video of the family beside her mother's bed as they said their goodbyes and sang softly.
“Our Maman passed away peacefully & I am thankful that we were able to gather together to say our goodbyes,” she wrote.
“Our family are grateful to the wonderful carers & nurses who helped us through the hardest of times. You left in autumn, your favorite time of year. Rest now my LOVE.”
Kusumphorn’s cause of death has still not been revealed as the family deals with the heartbreaking news.
On May 24, Barnes announced that he was cancelling his next two shows to “say an unexpected goodbye to someone we love”.
He explained that the decision was not taken lightly and that “family really must come first”.
