Before he was Barnesy — before Cold Chisel, before the sold-out stadiums and the screaming crowds — Jimmy Barnes was just a boy trying to survive.
In Working Class Boy, one of Australia's greatest rock icons strips away the legend to tell the raw, honest, and at times heartbreaking story of his early life. Growing up in poverty in Glasgow and then the tough streets of Elizabeth in South Australia, Jimmy's childhood was marked by chaos, hardship, and a fierce determination to find something better.
This is a memoir unlike any other — brutal in its honesty, warm in its humanity, and impossible to put down. Whether you're a lifelong Barnesy fan or simply love a great Australian story, Working Class Boy will move you.
