Australian rock icon Jimmy Barnes was rushed to the emergency room on Monday night by his wife Jane.

The Cold Chisel frontman shared a photograph from Sydney’s St Vincent’s Hospital. He is dressed in a white gown with a needle in his arm but is still smiling.

“I spent last night in ER at St Vincent Hospital and I want to thank the amazing staff who took care of me,” Barnes wrote.

He reportedly had a “stomach bug”.

Taking to social media to thank his wife, doctors and nurses – who he said “dashed me there and stayed by my side” – he chose to dedicate the Beatles classic,  With a little help from our friends.

“We’ll all get by with a little help from our friends,” Barnes wrote.

It didn’t take long for his friends and fans to offer their well wishes.

Entertainment reporter Angela Bishop wrote: “Get well soon Jimmy and sending lots of hugs to Jane too.”

“Get better soon!! We’re all cheering you back to good health,” one fan said.

“Get Well Soon !! I am thinking of you. You are still the working Class Man and I hope to hear your voice lighting up the air ways soon. Your fighting spirit will pull you through. Hang in there. All the best to Jane and family,” another wrote.

“Don’t you dare scare us all Jimmy. I couldn’t cope. Take it easy, get well. You have a wonderful nurse,” one more said.

The 64-year-old seemed to be in good health in recent videos shared on social media.
