Cruz Beckham Embraces Family Collaboration in New Music Release
Cruz Beckham has expressed that 'there's nothing better' than working with family, as he prominently features his grandfather Tony Adams in his latest music video. This heartfelt project emerges against a backdrop of ongoing familial discord, particularly with his older brother Brooklyn. The 20-year-old musician, the youngest son of David and Victoria Beckham, revealed the special bond for music he shares with Tony, an emotional moment that moved his grandmother Jackie Adams to tears.
A Glimpse into the Musical Family Dynamic
Sharing an initial preview on Instagram, Tony Adams, who is Victoria Beckham's father, was seen joining Cruz's band, The Breakers, to perform the new song For Your Love. Dressed sharply in a striped blazer and yellow tie, Tony held a microphone, adding a nostalgic touch to the production. Cruz penned a touching tribute, stating: 'Happppy for your love month. This is my grandad, Tony. When he was my age he was also in a band and our bond for music is so special to me.'
He further emphasised the significance of this collaboration, noting: 'Having him in the video and cover for this particular song is something I will never forget. Not only are the people I’m making art with my family, but also the most talented.' Cruz also highlighted the involvement of other family members, including his cousin Libby Adams as producer and his girlfriend Jackie Apostel as executive producer, reinforcing his message about the joys of familial teamwork.
Emotional Reactions and Upcoming Tour Plans
The release prompted an emotional response from his grandmother Jackie, who commented: 'Cruzie. This has made me cry!! We are so proud of you and the boys. We love you lots xx.' Meanwhile, Libby Adams praised the effort, writing: 'What a team. Can’t wait for everyone to experience this one!' and Jackie Apostel added: 'One of the best days of last year. I can’t wait for the world to hear this :('.
In addition to the video release, Cruz and The Breakers are set to embark on a tour later this month and next, with stops across the UK and in cities such as Paris, Amsterdam, and Berlin. His mother Victoria was among the first to publicly praise him, gushing: 'So proud of you Cruz!!' after the tour announcement.
Context of Family Tensions with Brooklyn Beckham
This family-focused project comes amid heightened tensions within the Beckham household. Recently, Cruz appeared to backtrack on a subtle swipe at his brother Brooklyn by deleting a pointed TikTok video. The post, which featured Cruz and brother Romeo with the caption 'Imagine hating and we’re just here like,' was interpreted as a response to Brooklyn's public criticisms of their parents.
Last month, Brooklyn published a scathing six-page statement, accusing his parents of inauthenticity and attempting to ruin his relationship with wife Nicola Peltz. He declared no interest in reconciliation, though he notably excluded his siblings Romeo, Cruz, and Harper from his narrative. Despite this, Cruz has shown support for his mother, subtly promoting her 2001 single Not Such An Innocent Girl on Instagram as it surged to number one on iTunes charts in the UK and Ireland, driven by a fan campaign in response to Brooklyn's allegations.
The ongoing feud has captivated public attention, with Victoria maintaining a stoic silence while Cruz navigates these complex family dynamics through his music and social media presence. As the Beckham saga continues to unfold, Cruz's latest video serves as a poignant reminder of the bonds that persist amidst the turmoil.
