Jimmy Barnes’s youngest daughter Elly-May on cabaret and cerebral palsy | Australian Story

When Elly-May Barnes was born into rock music’s most famous family, she was 14 weeks premature and given only a 50/50 chance of survival.
At 3, she was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. She’s endured a lifetime of medical procedures which she thought would limit her musical career to being a backup singer for her father.
Now at 34, Elly-May Barnes is stepping out as a solo cabaret artist - and an advocate for people with disabilities.
