Cruz Beckham vows to ‘put a smile on people’s faces’ ahead of Leeds tour date
Cruz Beckham has said he hopes to put a “smile on people’s faces” with his music, ahead of his visit to Leeds next month adding: “People need it right now.”
The 20-year old singer is the third son of celebrity parents, former footballer Sir David Beckham and Spice Girl Victoria Beckham.
Following in his mother’s footsteps, Cruz and his band The Breakers are about to kick off their first UK and EU tour.
The For Your Love tour includes a number of shows across the UK along with gigs in Paris, Berlin and Amsterdam.
They are due to play a sold-out gig Leeds at Hyde Park Book Club on March 1.
Appearing on Virgin Radio UK’s Chris Evans breakfast show, the group performed single For Your Love as well as a cover of Bruce Springsteen’s I’m On Fire.
Asked what he hopes to do, Cruz Beckham said: “Honestly just to keep making music and keep trying to put a smile on people’s faces.
“People need it right now.”
The single, which was released on Friday, follows his debut single Optics which came out in October alongside the song Lick The Toad.
He also said his first gig was watching his mother perform as part of the Spice Girls.
In a separate tour announcement, Cruz said: “I’m so excited to get out on the road, I’ve always been inspired by bands who do it the right way, so I wanna get out there and play loads of small gigs.
“I cannot wait to meet the fans and for them to hear the tracks, I can’t believe people have actually spent their hard earned money to come and see me and my band, so we’re gonna put on a show.
“I’m so buzzing to have our own banner for The Breakers, we’ve only been a support band so far so this time we get our own banner.”
