Cruz Beckham, the youngest son of David and Victoria Beckham, took a significant step in his pursuit of a music career this Wednesday, delivering a powerful performance for his family and friends that left his famous parents visibly emotional and brimming with pride.
A Family Affair Filled With Pride
The 20-year-old commanded the stage as the frontman of his band, The Breakers, at a packed gig. His mother, Victoria Beckham, 51, was seated in the front row, capturing the moment on her phone. She later shared a clip of Cruz singing and playing the guitar, accompanying it with an effusive tribute: 'Wow!!! You look so happy Cruz and we couldn’t be prouder we love you @cruzbeckham xxxxxxxxxx.'
His father, David Beckham, 50, was equally moved, admitting the performance brought him to tears. He posted his own footage and penned a heartfelt message: 'Family & friends night with Cruz we r so proud of you mate we love you and the journey that you are on... Tonight was full of love & a few tears of joy and pride #CruzBeckham&The Breakers.'
Wide-Ranging Support and Hints of an Album
The audience was a veritable who's who of Cruz's inner circle, all showing their support. His grandmother, Sandra Beckham, 76, publicly expressed her pride for her grandson. His girlfriend, Jackie Apostel, 30, was also there and dropped a major hint about his future plans, asking her followers: 'Might it finally be time to drop what we've all been waiting for? @cruzbeckham,' suggesting a debut album could be imminent.
Further support came from his brother Romeo's girlfriend, Kim Turnbull, and close family friend David Gardner, who told his followers the performance was 'sooooooooo good'.
Bold Musical Direction and Explicit Lyrics
During the set, Cruz showcased his latest singles, demonstrating a bold and mature artistic direction. He performed his song 'Optics', which features very explicit lyrics concerning drugs and sex, including the lines: 'Take a thousand selfies in your bed while I trip in mine / I love me some mushrooms and good head and an erotic 69'. The chorus repeats: 'Stay high fashion, no comedown, no crashing but you wanna know how it looks, I wanna know how it feels'.
His other release, 'Lick The Toad', favours less racy lyrics and is instead based on 'mother nature'. This performance follows a recent social media clip where Cruz and his mother performed an acoustic version of the Spice Girls' 'Viva Forever', which left fans begging for a official duet.
Cruz has been steadily building his music career by performing at grassroots venues. In a significant career move, it was reported last month that he has signed with the top music management company C3, known for working with acts like The Strokes, confirming he is serious about his bid for stardom.
