Aussie icon Jimmy Barnes issues heartbreaking plea as family member goes missing in Sydney
Jimmy Barnes has issued a desperate plea to fans after one of his family members went missing.
The Aussie singer, 69, shared a post to Facebook on Sunday asking fans to help find his son's nephew after his family reported him missing.
'Please help us find Blake, Jackie's nephew,' he wrote above the missing person's report.
Blake Powell, who is only 14, went missing in Sydney 's Castle Hill on Friday and hasn't been seen since 4pm that day.
'He is 185cm tall, of thin build, 70kg, Caucasian appearance with an olive complexion, brown hair and eyes,' the post read.

It went on to say that the young boy is known to take public transport and spend time at Sydney-based shopping malls.
'Police and Family hold concerns for his welfare given his young age.'
'Any information - please call Crime Stoppers on 1800333000 or Castle Hill Police,' the post finished.
The heartbreaking post comes after Barnes was hit with yet another medical blow in February, following three separate surgeries in the past year and a half.
The Never Tear Us Apart hitmaker has been in and out of hospital since late 2023, receiving two hip operations and open heart surgery.
The musician underwent another operation on his hip just six months after he was forced to get urgent 'remedial' hip surgery in August last year.
In a video shared to Instagram, Jimmy could be seen using a walking frame to aid him as he hobbled down a hallway in the hospital just 24 hours after surgery.
Garbed in a patient gown, Jimmy appeared to be in good spirits as he took a stroll through the building wearing compression socks and foot pumps.
'Please help us find Blake, Jackie's (pictured left) nephew,' Jimmy wrote above the missing person's report.
'I'm walking, day one. Woohoo! I'll be jogging by tomorrow. Dancing by Friday,' he joked.
Jimmy was forced to cancel two months' worth of gigs last August after noticing an ache in his side while performing in New Zealand, which led to an urgent 'remedial' hip operation.
He previously underwent open-heart surgery to fend off a staph infection, which then returned and attacked his hip, leading to surgery and a six-week recovery.
The rock star made a triumphant return to stage in October after his health struggles as he performed with his band Cold Chisel at The Entertainment Quarter.
The Cold Chisel 50th anniversary tour, dubbed The Big Five-0, sold over 150,000 tickets across 16 shows, making it one of the most highly-anticipated Aussie tours of the year.

The star of the Call on Me music video has been showing off her incredible physique 21 years after the Eric Prydz dancefloor number one. Deanne Berry, 44, now a dance instructor, showed off her ageless figure in eye-popping snaps shared to her Instagram page. In one gorgeous snap, Deanne showed off her washboard abs as she posed up a storm in a gym bralet and figure-hugging bike shorts. It has been two decades since her dance moves catapulted her to global fame in Eric Pryd's music video, but she is still showing off her skills online. Having since retired from the world of professional dancing, she now works as an online and in-person dance instructor. Deanne, who hails from Australia, specialises in 80s-inspired workshops, hen nights and events at her business Deanne Berry Bodies (DBB) Online Dance workouts. This should come as no surprise to fans of the 2004 music video, which saw her don a spandex bodysuit and headband and dance to the song that shot to the top of the UK charts. The raunchy music video and song had a clear 80s link and the track was even based on Steve Winwood's 1982 song Valerie. The video showed Deanne parading around in a thong one-piece as she wiggled her hips and showed off her moves while leading a cheeky exercise class. After its initial success, Call on Me has been reaching a new generation of fans after appearing in the new Warfare film earlier this year. It features US Navy seals watching the music video ahead of the retelling of Ray Mendoza's experiences during the Iraq War. Deanne shared a clip of the scene to her Instagram, with fans rushing to the comments section to stress that she still looks the same. They praised: 'Omg this is awesome! She must have been so excited when this came on! Fans of the former professional dancer have been praising her physique two decades on from her famous music video 'Still love this song and she's still beautiful as ever! Wait for the resurgence of this song now! Whole new fan base coming!'; 'Still hot babe!!!! I've seen you in the flesh'; 'You awoke something in the 14 year old me that day. Instantly had a crush on you then….and tbf still do.' Deanne notably describes herself as the 'Call On Me instructor' on her Instagram page. As well as running her fitness business, Deanne is now a married mother of three young children.
