Jimmy Barnes is best known for his powerful vocals with the iconic rock band Cold Chisel and his successful solo career. But his off-stage life is equally noteworthy, having fathered eight children with five women over his 68 years. The Working Class Man hitmaker was awarded Father of The Year by the Fathering Project in August - an honour he shared with his eldest son, Today Extra host David Campbell.

Speaking about the honour at the time, Jimmy gushed about fatherhood. 'From the moment you look into your baby's eyes until the day they are about to walk through the door to venture out on a life on their own, joy flows freely,' he said in a statement.

'I have watched David on his journey, grow from a small child into an awkward young man, along the way we both made mistakes but nothing we couldn't sort out with patience and love.'. Rocker Jimmy Barnes' life off stage is just as noteworthy, having fathered eight children to five women, over the course of his 68 years.
