Miracle as Jimmy Barnes walks his daughter Eliza-Jane down the aisle to wed her partner Jimmy Metherell – just months after rocker’s brush with death

Rock icon Jimmy Barnes walked his daughter Eliza-Jane down the aisle to marry her long-time partner Jimmy Metherell last month.

The Working Class Man hitmaker, 67, looked every inch the proud father in a series of stunning photos of the nuptials.

Just a few months earlier, the Scottish-born Australian was in the ICU fearing for his life as he underwent open heart surgery.

But he was the picture of health for his daughter’s big day on February 28. 

Eliza-Jane, 39, broke down in tears as she clung to her famous father ahead of the nuptials. 

She looked a classic beauty on her big day, slipping into a vintage wedding gown with a nude base and white lace overlay, designed by Collette Dinnigan.

Enhancing her flawless features with a no-makeup makeup look, the performer decorated her luscious dark curls with a fitting white flower crown.

‘It was just a great celebration of love, and we were so happy to have Dadda in such fine form for our wedding,’ the singer-songwriter told Woman’s Day last Monday. 

‘My father also had health issues at the end of last year, right before Christmas. So it was even more special to have both of our dads there.’

Barnes admitted he got ‘very emotional’ during the day, saying: ‘I shed a tear even at the rehearsal. Just the whole thing, you know.’ 

Sharing several photos to his Instagram, Barnes wrote: ‘We sang together as I walked EJ down the aisle to give her away, and nothing could have made me more proud. 

‘EJ sang her vows in a love song she wrote for her Jim. Jim joined our family and we joined the Metherell clan. 

‘What more could a man wish for than the blessing of all these extraordinary loved ones around me.’

Eliza-Jane and her partner tied the knot on February 28

The father-of-the-bride wore an all-black traditional Scottish get-up which included a kilt and boots.

EJ and Metherell, 36, welcomed 140 guests to their union in The Stables at Berrima’s Bendooley Estate, not far from Barnes and wife Jane’s home in Southern Highlands.

Guests included Crowded House star Neil Finn and Mark ‘Diesel’ Lizotte, the latter of who performed I’ve Been Loving You Too Long by Otis Redding.

Extra co-host and cousin David Campbell also put his pipes to good use, belting out the Elvis classic Love Me Tender during the bridal waltz.  

EJ’s siblings Mahalia, Jackie and Ella-May were also in attendance, along with Metherell’s very musical family.

The bride and groom, who have been together for almost ten years, welcomed their little two-year-old son Teddy to be the ring-bearer.

Foregoing a traditional honeymoon, the family of three will jet back to their home in Auckland, New Zealand to celebrate and begin the next chapter of their lives.

Despite the happiness which exuded their ceremony of love, there were real fears Barnes would not make it to his daughter’s wedding. 

The Australian rock legend opened up about his close brush with death and grave fears he wouldn’t wake up from heart surgery just a few months ago.

Barnes has survived his fair share of health scares from his years of living life to the max, along with drug and alcohol addiction. 

But two months ago, he became fearful for his health after he was struck down by a life-threatening infection that attacked his heart.

At one point, while lying in Sydney‘s St Vincent’s Hospital, a gravely-ill Barnes told his wife Jane: ‘I don’t think I’m gonna make it.’

‘I just had this horrible morbid feeling because I’ve never felt this sick before. I thought I was gone,’ he told 60Minutes amid his recovery. 

Hours before checking into hospital, an unwell Barnes took to the stage at a memorial concert for his late friend and promoter, Michael Gudinski.
