Meanwhile, Dylan looked happy to have his famous granddad beside him for the big moment. 

‘First day at a new school for grandson Dylan,’ Jimmy wrote in the caption of his Facebook post. 

‘We all went to see him in,’ he continued. ‘He’ll be too embarrassed of us soon. The kids are growing up way too fast.’

Dylan is the son of Elly-May Barnes, 33, Jimmy and Jane Barnes’ youngest daughter.

It comes after the Cold Chisel founder recently underwent urgent hip surgery.

Jimmy cancelled his summer tour in December in order to receive the treatment to relieve chronic pain. 

Interviewed on Channel 10’s The Project, Jimmy told co-host Carrie Bickmore he wants to write a new album of songs and finish a book during his down time.

Showing no signs of pain during his on-air chat, Jimmy put on a brave face as he told how he hated to ‘let people down’ for taking the difficult step of cancelling his tour.

He explained to viewers that his back pain is now so bad, he finds it hard to walk.

Jimmy only cancelled the gigs, he said, because he feared that he would not be able to deliver a high-quality show the fans expect.
