Jimmy Barnes is returning to New Zealand next year for the Summer Concert Tour with Cold Chisel , and he’s now revealed what keeps bringing him back to Aotearoa. Speaking to Coast radio hosts Toni Street, Jason Reeves and Sam Wallace on air this morning, he said he’s doing “surprisingly good” after undergoing open heart surgery last year. He’s returning to New Zealand this month with his Hell of a Time tour , months after he was hospitalised with bacterial pneumonia and became very unwell, eventually undergoing surgery to replace the aortic valve in his heart.
Now, he’s simply excited to be back performing and making the most of “the opportunity to play music with a bunch of guys that are my best friends”..
