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. Show less «
