Aussie rock legend's death shocks industry
Australian music has lost a legend with the death this week of Colonel Joye. The pioneer singer/songwriter and musical entrepreneur had been in declining health in recent years however with characteristic determination bounced back from an episode of ill health in 2022 after his one-time contemporary Normie Rowe took to the radio airwaves on 2GB to talk up Joye's precarious health, infuriating the singer's family. Rowe was doing the rounds again hours after Joye's death on Wednesday morning playing the arbiter of bad news. Born Colin Jacobsen in 1937, Joye, as he became known, was the second of four children born to a furniture factory worker and his music-loving wife. 'Kevin, Colin, Keith and Carol … Mum never did it on purpose. I was gonna be June..' he recalled of the family naming convention speaking to this writer in 2022. Joye was raised in Sydney's southwest in humble circumstances in a small corrugated-iron house with a mud floor. As a boy Joye learnt to play the piano and guitar and was drawn to the sounds of 'hillbilly music' emanating from the wireless. 'I was always interested in music,' he told this writer. 'I'd get up at 5.30 and listen to the wireless, the hillbilly music as they used to call it, and so country music has always been ingrained in me.' While working for a jeweller, Colin, on piano, and little brother Keith, on bass, joined older brother Kevin's band. The group would become The Joy Boys after finding their niche playing dances at the Bankstown Capitol Theatre and Bronte Surf Club on Sunday nights. Helped along by appearances on Channel 9's pioneer music program Bandstand which launched in 1958, the group would celebrate three hit songs in 1959 with Bye Bye Baby, Rockin' Rollin' Clementine and Oh Yeah Uh Huh topping the charts. A concert live album featuring the band and released that same year became Australia's first nationwide number one record. The fledgling television industry was heavily reliant on live musical performances at the time and the renamed Colonel Joye and The Joy Boys found themselves in huge demand. Along with regular appearances on Bandstand for 14 years, there would also be performances on programs Bobby Limb's Sound of Music, Sing Sing Sing and The Bryan Davies Show alongside the homegrown stars of the time including Judy Stone, Lonnie Lee, Sandy Scott, 'Little Pattie' Amphlett (sister of rocker Chrissie, and married for a decade to Colin's brother Keith), The Delltones and later Johnny O'Keefe and Olivia Newton John. The affable Colin would strike up lifelong friendships with many of his contemporaries including Bandstand host Brian Henderson and radio's 'top disc jockey' of the day John Laws. Joye readily acknowledged America's influence on his music and by 1965, buoyed by Col's discovery in 1961 of boy band The Bee Gees, brothers Colonel and Kevin started their own artists' management company, ATA Allstar Artists, later spinning off the successful promotions company, Jacobsen Entertainment which toured acts including Shirley MacLaine, Demis Roussos, The Two Ronnies and Newton-John. Kevin would later lament in 1980 not having been a better manager to his younger brother: 'I should have left (The Joy Boys) a long time before (1962). I would have been a far better personal manager to Colin if I had.' 'We blew a lot of money, spent a lot of money and we should have done a lot more than we did,' Jacobsen said. By the 2000s the brothers had fallen out bitterly over profits from the hit stage musical Dirty Dancing which was produced by their company, which by that time also employed their children. Kevin Jacobsen later filed for bankruptcy claiming he had been cheated out of rights. In 1970 Joye married wife Dalys in Fiji. The ceremony, a private affair, was a joint wedding ceremony. Joye's younger sister Carol Jacobsen also exchanged wedding vows with singer Sandy Scott. There would be near misses for the noted thrillseeker over the decades. In 1977 the keen waterskier had a narrow escape after his new 200hp boat stalled on its maiden outing in Moreton Bay throwing him into the path of an oncoming boat. Joye was hospitalised with four broken ribs and a punctured lung. Years later in 1990 he was hospitalised again after falling six metres from a tree and onto a driveway next door to his Hunters Hill home while pruning a tree, breaking seven ribs and again puncturing a lung. Colin and Dalys welcomed two children during their long 55-year marriage and both followed their father into the entertainment industry. Son Clayton is a successful New York-based director/producer (The Man from Snowy River arena show) and daughter Amber is an entrepreneur (Toby's Estate coffee) and musical producer. In 2022 Joye said becoming a grandfather for the first time at age 80 had given him much to look forward to in later life. 'They're the light of my life,' he said, adding that while he was no longer capable of getting down on the floor and wrestling his grandchildren, he could still love them 'a hundred mile an hour'.

AFL news: Jimmy Bartel breaks silence on divorce to Nadia Bartel
Don't miss out on the headlines from AFL. Followed categories will be added to My News. AFL great Jimmy Bartel has spoken out about his divorce with Nadia Bartel with a rare comment. The pair called time on their relationship in 2019 with both remaining tight-lipped on their divorce and marriage breakdown. Now the former Geelong superstar has opened up and revealed why he stayed silent after the break up. 'There's nothing that I can do and say. And other people's opinions of me are none of my business. And so they'll form their own narrative, their own thinking or their own thought,' Bartel said on the A Life of Greatness with Sarah Grynberg podcast. 'The only thing that matters to me is the people that I care about and I just foster those relationships and it can be tough at times. You do want to bite back and you do want to respond … but people don't care, deep down they don't. 'The only people who care, are the people that actually care about you. And so that's all I worried and focused about.' Never miss the latest sports news from Australia and around the world — download the app direct to your phone.

Pic: Instagram The 41-year-old stated he would never speak publicly about the end of his marriage and what caused the pair to drift apart. 'I've never commented on anything to do about my separation. I never will because I just don't think it's needed. And so I just go about my business,' he added. The former couple tied the knot in 2014 and were married for five years before separating, they share two sons, Henley and Aston. 'It's been a very difficult month for me and the boys,' Nadia said shortly after the separation. 'My single focus now is to continue to protect, care for, and provide for my two beautiful boys as this is a personal matter. I am so thankful for my very supportive family and friends.' The pair have both since moved on with their love lives with Jimmy welcoming a baby girl into the world with his girlfriend Amelia Shepperd in April, 2023. Nadia on the other hand went public with former footballer Peter Dugmore early last year with the pair said to still be going strong. While Jimmy has remain tight-lipped about the divorce, Nadia opened up on the dark period last year to her Instagram followers. 'I felt like my life had ended, which is silly to think now,' the 39-year-old said in a video. 'You do think you'll never be able to date again – I know I did feel like that … having two small children and not having time for anything else. 'It was really hard for me as well because I'd been with my ex since I was 22 or 23, so to even think about dating again felt like the most foreign thing to me, and I didn't even know how I'd handle any of that.' Nadia admitted she'd got to a point where she 'didn't even want to meet anyone'. 'I thought, 'I'm so happy with my two boys',' she said. After a longtime of being closed off, Nadia opened up and said that for anyone who is struggling 'I really do believe it always works out. 'If you're going through something horrible (and) you can't imagine ever being happy again, and you feel like there's no future … things really do work out, it just takes time,' she said. 'It's nice to know you can have children, you can have blended families, and you can be happy.' Bartel opens up on family troubles The 2007 Brownlow medallist also detailed harrowing incidents from his childhood in the wide-ranging podcast interview, revealing his mother had been given a life or death ultimatum from his father. Bartel in 2016 courageously went public with details of alleged domestic abuse he and his two sisters witnessed during their childhood. The three-time premiership winner has been a brave advocate for mental health and domestic abuse issues and in 2016 wore a beard throughout the entire AFL season to raise awareness and funds for the 'Face Up To DV' campaign. His father Terry died in 2010. He said his parents separated when he was just one, but it was his father's alleged violence towards his mother and others in the family that opened his eyes.

Bartel shared traumatic details of one alleged incident when he was aged 14. 'Even though my parents had separated, he'd come around home and my mum had placed an (apprehended violence order) AVO on him, he came around and told her to lift the AVO or else he was going to take mum,' Bartel said. 'And he did. He took my mum out of the house and took her. I remember looking out the lounge room window and he was taking my mum and I only found out until I was older, he was taking mum out to the back of Geelong and pretty much gave her the ultimatum, either remove the AVO or this is the end for you. 'And so it was a tough decision for my mum, do you leave three kids with no mum or you come back home and you remove the AVO and you try and manage things a different way. 'So it was, it wasn't until I was older, you know, in your teenage years where you start to work out, hang on, this is not the hero that you want as a dad.' The terrifying incident resulted in Bartel striving to become a better father to his two sons, and now daughter, in the wake of what he and his family went through. Despite what his mother endured, the AFL icon said she never said a negative word about his father. Another lesson he took on board and why he continues to keep details on his relationships close to the chest. Originally published as AFL great Jimmy Bartel breaks silence on divorce to Nadia Bartel
