Jock Zonfrillo's wife shares tribute to Jimmy Barnes after surgery: 'Unbreakable'
"Our two Scotsmen found each other, they were like brothers."
Jock Zonfrillo's widow Lauren Fried has taken to Instagram to share a tribute to the late MasterChef judge's good friend Jimmy Barnes after the singer underwent open heart surgery last week.
Jimmy is recovering from the surgery which was needed after a bacterial infection spread to a heart valve. The ‘Working Class Man’ hitmaker told fans that the surgery will take him "out of action for a while", and the situation feels "hugely frustrating".
Lauren shared a snap of herself, Jock, Jimmy and his wife Jane, writing, "You find people in your life that you were just meant to stumble upon. Our two Scotsmen found each other, they were like brothers. And from that, the kids and I found an extended family.
"Jimmy is so impossibly strong - I would say unbreakable - and that’s one of the main reasons he’s pushed through the last few weeks like the extraordinary man that he is."

She continued, "I can’t even start to list off everything @jimmybarnesofficial, @jane13barnes, their kids, their family, and their friends have all done for the kids and I this year. This is a group of humans where you see a drop, they see an ocean. It’s the real sense of a clan.
"In true Jimmy/Jock style - 2023, that’s enough now, you can f*%k right off."
