David Campbell is the son of the legendary Australian rock and roll
singer Jimmy Barnes. Jimmy was born on 28 April, 1956, and David was
born in 1973, when Jimmy and his mother were still teenagers. Jimmy
Barnes was not yet famous, and David's early life was quite difficult.
'Campbell' is the surname of his maternal grandparents, his mothers
surname. David was raised by his mother and her parents, and he had no
idea from an early age that Jimmy Barnes was his father. When he was a
teenager he learned of his heritage, and decided to follow in his
fathers footsteps. David played the lead role of Johnny O'keefe in the
mega-extravaganza stage musical about O'Keefe's life 'Shout'. David has
acted in many theatre roles, and has also released many CDs of his
music. His latest single 'Hope' was performed by him on 'Micallef
Tonight' and reached the top 10 in Australia.
