Jimmy Barnes has lived many lives — from Glaswegian migrant kid to out of control front man, from solo superstar to proud father of his own musical clan. In the hugely anticipated second volume of his memoirs, Jimmy picks up the story of his life as he leaves Adelaide in the back of an old truck with a then unknown band called Cold Chisel.

Working Class Man is the book Australia has been waiting for. The promise of Working Class Boy was that to understand the man you needed to meet the boy, and now in Working Class Man that promise is fulfilled. Jimmy Barnes lays his life bare.

Jimmy joined Sarah and Paddy this morning, and reflected on the good, and the 'not so good' times throughout his career.
