Jimmy Barnes will head back out of the road with more stories and songs for the second edition of ‘Working Class Man: An Evening Of Stories & Songs’.
The first tour ‘Working Class Boy’ was based on the stories about Jimmy’s life up until Cold Chisel. ‘Working Class Man’ takes fans into the Chisel years.
‘Working Class Man’ starts in 1974. “In book one I faced the damage that a broken home and a broken heart can bring,” Jimmy said. .In book two I face the impact that a childhood like mine can have on a man. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not blaming anyone for any of this. We all do the best with what we have. But in book two the blame rests squarely on my shoulders, and until I work a lot of things out I carry a lot of baggage around with me …
“I have done a lot of great things. I have a beautiful family and wonderful friends. But there were many times, dark times, that I almost let it all slip through my fingers. In the end I asked for help. I used to think that if someone asked for help they were weak. But the toughest thing I ever did was reach out and ask for help. And that was when I started to heal.”
The tour will also help promote the good work of Lifeline(www.lifeline.org.au) as Jimmy will be drawing further attention to the issues of addiction and mental health in both his new book and live show.
