Jimmy Barnes Almost Joined Van Halen? Barnesy On Eddie Van Halen AND AFL Grand Final Gig

Absolute Legend Jimmy Barnes joined Roo and Ditts this morning, unfortunately immediately following the news of the passing of Eddie Van Halen.

Barnesy remembered Van Halen by telling us the story of how he almost filled in the void left by David Lee Roth.

REST IN PEACE EDDIE, DEFINITELY ONE OF THE GOAT 

In lighter news, following on from Port Adelaide's victory on Thursday, Barnesy discussed the possibility of crashing the Grand Final to sing FOR FREE if Port make it to the Grandest stage.

If Barnesy almost joining Van Halen and performing at the Grand Final for free aren't crazy enough stories for one interview, he also dropped a classic story about how he ended up BUCK ASS NUDE in front of Nicole Kidman.

I mean, it is Barnesy... what do you expect at this point?
