Jimmy Barnes has shared a health update on New Year’s Day after undergoing open heart surgery.
The rock star, 67, took to Instagram to post a picture of himself going for a walk with his grandson Teddy.
The pair were pictured walking down a lane together on the singer’s country property, with vibrant green trees framing the scene.
‘New Year’s Day and it’s my first walk up and down the country lane,’ Jimmy wrote in the caption.
‘Teddy’s faster than me for now. Here we go easing into 2024.’

The singer and his family have been sharing several images after his surgery in December.
Late last month, Jimmy looked pleased as punch to be enjoying a roast dinner in hospital.
In a tender picture shared to Instagram, the singer smiled alongside his beloved wife Jane while sitting up in his hospital bed enjoying a meal of roast chicken, broccolini and roast potatoes.
‘DAY 4. Here we are getting fresh Darlinghurst air,’ he wrote in the caption.
‘Here’s Jimmy’s first Sunday roast… We’re a lucky FAMILY. Happy Sunday all you good people,’ it concluded.

The singer was recently rushed to ER following complications from bacterial pneumonia, but it appears he will make a full recovery soon.
Jimmy informed his followers he was undergoing open heart surgery after a bacterial infection spread to his heart.
Following the procedure, the Scottish-born Aussie took to Instagram to let his followers know he is healthy, happy and likely to make a full recovery.
In November, Jimmy was forced to cancel his headlining appearance at Rock the Boat cruise festival in Noumea, New Caledonia, after being hospitalised with bacterial pneumonia.
He then had to pull out of his scheduled performance at By The C in Torquay on December 2 after his condition failed to improve.
Jimmy has a string of sold-out headlining gigs booked for January and February, including multiple shows at the Red Hot Summer Tour festival.
However, Jimmy confirmed late last year that his upcoming shows will likely be axed after doctors found his infection had spread.

Jimmy wrote in a statement: ‘Unfortunately I got some bad news late yesterday… despite everyone’s best efforts the bacterial infection I’ve been battling over the last fortnight has apparently now spread to my heart.
‘It’s infected an otherwise healthy valve that was replaced some years ago due to a congenital defect, so I’ll be getting open heart surgery over the next few hours to clear this infection and put in a clean valve.
He went on to express his frustration and shock at the diagnosis, writing: ‘Obviously this is going to take me out of action for a while. I know lots of other people are battling even worse things but it still feel hugely frustrating. Just a few weeks ago I was the fittest I’ve been in decades!
‘Anyway, as you can hopefully appreciate, this has all happened very suddenly so it’s going to take a few days for everyone to figure out what is going to be doable with my upcoming shows.’
