Miracle as Jimmy Barnes walks daughter Eliza-Jane down the aisle to marry partner Jimmy Metherell – just months after rocker’s brush with death

Rock icon Jimmy Barnes walked his daughter Eliza-Jane down the aisle last month to marry her longtime partner Jimmy Metherell.

The 67-year-old Working Class Man hitmaker looked every bit the proud dad in a series of stunning photos from the wedding.

Just a few months earlier, the Scottish-born Australian was in intensive care and feared for his life as he underwent open-heart surgery.

But he was the picture of wholesomeness on his daughter’s big day, which was held at The Stables on Berrima’s Bendooley Estate on February 28.

Eliza-Jane, 39, broke down in tears as she clung to her famous dad ahead of the wedding.

She was a classic beauty on her big day, donning a vintage wedding dress with a nude base and white lace overlay, designed by Collette Dinnigan.

The performer enhanced her flawless features with a no-makeup makeup look and accessorized her luscious dark curls with a matching white floral crown.

“It was just an amazing celebration of love, and we were so happy that Dad was in such good shape for our wedding,” the singer-songwriter shared. women’s Day last Monday.

‘My father also had health problems at the end of last year, just before Christmas. So it was even more special to have both of our fathers there.”

Barnes admitted that he became “very emotional” during the day, saying: “I even shed a tear during rehearsal. Just the whole thing, you know.”

Sharing several photos on his Instagram, Barnes wrote, “We sang together as I walked EJ down the aisle to give her away, and nothing could have made me prouder.

“EJ sang her vows in a love song she wrote for her Jim. Jim joined our family and we joined the Metherell clan.

‘What more could a man ask for than the blessing of all these special loved ones around me.’

The bride’s father wore an all-black traditional Scottish outfit, including a kilt and boots.

EJ and Metherell, 36, welcomed 140 guests to their union at the estate, which is not far from Barnes and his wife Jane’s home in the Southern Highlands.

Guests included Crowded House star Neil Finn and Mark ‘Diesel’ Lizotte, who performed Otis Redding’s I’ve Been Loving You Too Long.

Additional co-host and Eliza-Jane’s cousin David Campbell also made good use of his pipes, singing the Elvis classic Love Me Tender during the bridal waltz.

Her siblings Mahalia, Jackie and Ella-May were also in attendance, along with Metherell’s very musical family.

The bride and groom, who have been together for almost a decade, welcomed their two-year-old son Teddy as the ring bearer.

“It was just an amazing celebration of love, and we were so happy that Dad was in such good shape for our wedding,” EJ told Woman’s Day last Monday.

After a traditional honeymoon, the family of three will fly back to their Auckland home to celebrate and start the next chapter of their lives.

Despite the happiness that radiated from their love ceremony, there was a real fear that Barnes would not make it to his daughter’s wedding.

The Australian rock legend spoke a few months ago about his close encounter with death and the serious fear that he would not wake up after heart surgery.

Barnes has survived his fair share of health issues during his many years of life, along with his drug and alcohol addiction.

But two months ago he became fearful for his health after being struck by a life-threatening infection that affected his heart.

At one point, while in St. Vincent’s Hospital in Sydney, a seriously ill Barnes told his wife Jane, “I don’t think I’m going to make it.”

‘I just had a terribly sick feeling, because I’ve never felt so sick before. I thought I was gone,” he said 60 minutes amid his recovery.

Hours before going to the hospital, an unwell Barnes took the stage at a memorial concert for his late friend and promoter, Michael Gudinski.
