Ive got some Christmas things up my sleeve - dont worry ❤😂🎉 Jimmy always made sure he was part of Davids life and it shows. Love this family. Barnsey has had a strong, supportive wife for over 41 years, like John and Jilly. Diesel and his wife have been together for over 30 years. David is fantastic - he hosts Carols by Candlelight too. Dont forget he found out when he was 10 cause he was putting 2 and 2 together. ❤❤
Because both jimmy and davids mother were only 16 when he was born, david was raised believing that his grandmother was his mother and that his mother was his sister.
Thanks Paul and Fellipe 😊❤❤ And thanks again to Debb for the amazing request 🥰 I love this performance between a father and son. It really is special, and that note by David towards the end, boy that gets me everytime. Just like you Paul, Goosebumps!! ❤ Take care everybody. Catch you in the next video 😊❤❤
Carols By Candlelight is an Australian tradition. The ones in Melbourne are on Christmas Eve . Beautiful balmy summer evening in Australia, singing carols with families sitting on the grass holding their candles high, and a visit from Santa. They happen in towns all across the country with local talent.
Anyone who says Jimmy is just a screamer - this one puts that ridiculous argument to bed. He can sing smooth and he can hit those notes - this is beautiful and always brings a little tear to me eye knowing how far they’ve come as father and son. David’s performance of Bring Him Home (Les Mis) on Hey Hey it’s Saturday is also so beautiful. ❤ 🐨
Both Jimmy and David smash this. ❤ Jimmy’s power, and smooth vibrato is stunning, and David shows us that he is a chip off his Daddy’s shoulder. By the way, Jimmy did not have a choice about saying he was the Dad, or he might not have been able to continue to have his son in his life. Remember he was only 16. He did not have the best life growing up. Jimmy’s Dad was an alcoholic and used to drink his pay check away at the pub, there was DV and Jimmy and his siblings were hungry a lot. Not a safe environment for them. In his books, he said his mother did offer to help with the baby, but the Grandmother said no to that. It wasn’t until he was with his beautiful wife Jane, that things changed. At least he can look back and see that his Dad was always in his life.
They have spoken about their strained relationship when David was a teenager and David puts it down to his stepmum Jimmy’s wife Jane for helping From what I have read Jimmy and David’s mum were very young and his biological mums mother raised him thinking that he was her child not her grandchild. David just thought they had a famous family friend but then when David was around 10 he started to allegedly really look like Jimmy so they told him the truth I can imagine the emotional drama it caused. Can you imagine being a teenager and finding out your biological dad is Jimmy Barnes. I think it shows how strong of a person David must be Apparently from about 12 onwards he would fly between Adelaide and Sydney and David moved to Sydney later on to be with Jimmy and Jane. Imagine being 14 a moody teenager and moving in with Jimmy who at 30yrs old was still quite wild! David often has Jimmy and Jane on his morning TV show to cook food. It’s funny to watch as David is always teasing Jimmy 😊
I love watching this performance....I may be wrong but I think David grew up in the US....I know he was working there in clubs etc...Then came back to Australia. Those vocals are amazing.....Yes John Farnham did sing at Carols By Candlelight too. He also sang Never Walk Alone. and Mary's Boy Child....love your channel guys
He grew up in Australia. He grew up listening to his grandparents Frank Sinatra records and others of that era. That’s why he had different music interests. When first making a name for himself, he was picked up and did make it in the nightclub scene in the USA.
@@mandystephens2458 Ah thanks for that info Mandy..... So happy they finally were able to meet and know each other...this performance is so very touching isn't it. The lo shines through. Father and Son....
David did not know Jimmy was his Dad until he was 10 he thought Jimmy was a family friend , David was looked after by his Grandmother , also Jimmy's real name is James Swann , Jimmy's older brother taught him to sing

Did you see David point to his cheek and Jimmy gave him a kiss. Beautiful family. ❤😂🎉
😂 yeah, that was such a proud father moment!

@Dr_KAP Hi Kappy. I love this pair performing together 🤩 They have been through a lot and are just so gorgeous together ❤️

@kazz3956 Well said Kazz - Jimmy certainly fought through and thank God for Jane - she is strong like Jilly for John ❤️❤️

I love Jimmy…..❤
PS John Farnham sang with his LRB mates at a Christmas event ages ago, singing Silent night acapella.
@@kazz3956 Hi Kazz - that's in my list for a Christmas reaction leading up to Chrissy 🙂
@ great. I love that video.
David did not know Jimmy was his Dad until he was 10 he thought Jimmy was a family friend , David was looked after by his Grandmother , also Jimmy's real name is James Swann , Jimmy's older brother taught him to sing
Not quite, he was Swann, he took the name Barnes when adopted by his mum's second husband.
