Jimmy Barnes has pulled through major hip surgery and is doing well, his daughter Elly-May Barnes shared on the iconic Aussie rock singer's social media.

Their addition to the top of the Wollongong, Torquay and Rochford line-ups also means that the other bands on the bill, like The Living End, Wolfmother and Noiseworks, will still get their chance to rock. "I've had niggling back and hip issues for years, but things suddenly got a lot worse over the last few weeks, and I'm now in constant and severe pain. The best possible outcome for major hip surgery, the Barnes family must feel relieved.

The singer's daughter shared the update along with several photos from Barnes' recovery room.

“I think the sheer adrenaline and the dedication of the audience is going to get me through that one,” he said. Barnes announced the surgery news at the end of November, saying he had to cancel all but one of the shows he had scheduled. “I’ve had niggling back and hip issues for years, but things suddenly got a lot worse over the last few weeks and I’m now in constant and severe pain,” he said in the Instagram video at the time. “As everybody knows, it’s against my religion to blow out gigs but the doctors tell me I need an operation as soon as possible and it will really limit my movement for a few months. Barnes, who described himself as “one of those people that doesn’t sit still”, said that for his last surgery he had returned to performing with the minimum recovery time - and it led him back to the hospital. “That is my plan, to try and actually do the right thing, and hopefully then when I come back I’ll be ready,” he told Sunrise. “I’m one of those people that doesn’t sit still and doesn’t take other people’s advice - so (this time) I’m going to try.” [Sunrise](https://7news.com.au/sunrise) in early December that the surgery was a result of “back troubles for about eight years,” and all his performing “finally caught up with me”. “When I had open-heart surgery they told me ‘after eight weeks you’ll feel good, but you have to take 12 (weeks off)’,” he recalled. “But for the last two months, I’ve actually been in excruciating pain and you know, I’ve done lots of shows but people don’t know this because I scream so much anyway,” he laughed. “Probably a minimum of four months but I’ll probably just take six months off,” he said.
