James Dixon Swan (born 28 April 1956), better known as Jimmy Barnes, is a Scottish-born Australian rock singer-songwriter. His father Jim Swan was a prizefighter and his older brother John Swan is also a rock singer. It was actually John who had encouraged and taught Jim how to sing as he wasn't really interested at the time. His career as both a solo performer and as the lead vocalist with the rock band Cold Chisel has made him one of the most popular and best-selling Australian music artists of all time. The combination of 14 Australian Top 40 albums for Cold Chisel and 13 charting solo albums, including nine No. 1s, gives Barnes the highest number of hit albums of any Australian artist.

Ben Barnes, Prince Caspian before Jimmy Kimmel Live on May 14th, 2008. He was very beautiful. I was stuck by his beauty, via my comment to him about being beautiful. I was very excited to meet him in person. Ben singed my Narnia poster. Ben signed the entire line and was most likely shocked that he had so many people waiting just for him. **130000 hits, thanks for watching** www.youtube.com this is a slideshow I made of my pictures from that day.
