Rock Star Dads And Their Rockin’ Daughters

Astro Publication 16/06/2015 | 08:24 MYT

The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. No industry in the world is without its fair share of renowned father-daughter duos, including the music world. Some rock ‘n’ roll dads have children who have also gone to become prominent in their own right with great genes from their dads. Sexy rock star daughters make a lasting impression as well, especially when they have looks that steal the limelight. Rock stars have a certain charisma which makes them the sexiest people on the planet, as a result they get the pick of the litter when it comes to supermodel spouses. The end result: generating very good-looking children.

Some of the sweetest rock ballads were inspired by daddy’s little girls, Bruce Springsteen’s When You Need Me, Phil Collins’ You’ll Be In My Heart and other very expressive ballads you’ll find in father-daughter music compilations.
Since Father’s day is fast approaching, we figured we would highlight some good-looking rock star fathers and their equally or even sexier brood. From models and DJs to actors and musicians, meet the new crop of offspring muses of the most distinguished rock stars.


Steven Tyler & Liv Tyler
Steven Tyler is evidently a rock ‘n’ roll legend as the frontman of Aerosmith, but his daughter Liv has also enjoyed an illustrious career of her own in the entertainment industry, having appeared in numerous movies including the famous Lord of the Rings trilogy.


Lenny Kravitz and Zoë Kravitz
Zoë appeared in After Earth and X Men: First Class. She even added Swarovski jewellery designer to her résumé and appeared in the star-studded Mad Max reboot as well! With her great cheekbones and piercing eyes, she is just as sultry and stunning as her father.


Sting and Coco Sumner
Eliot Paulina Sumner, who goes by her stage name "Coco," is the lead singer of the indie-rock band I Blame Coco. After touring the U.K. with La Roux, Coco retreated from the spotlight to work on her sophomore album. Growing up in England, Sumner taught herself how to play the guitar at 5, typically by watching those around her, including her father, musician/singer Sting. She was initially influenced by bands like Pink Floyd and Jimi Hendrix, before maturing into more underground music by Joy Division and the Cure.


Mick Jagger and Georgia May Jagger
Georgia May flashed her father's well-known toothy grin as a brand ambassador for Rimmel London and in international fashion magazines. She is a knockout and a carbon copy of her father but the only difference is that she doesn’t play any instruments but can still rock an outfit with ease.


Phil Collins and Lily Collins
Lily Collins splashed onto the big screen as Snow White in Mirror Mirror and in The Blind Side. She is also a beauty in The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones and sang in Mirror Mirror, seemingly following in her dad’s footsteps. Though her dad is a multi-millionaire world famous rock star, Lily has always fended for herself and is pleased that she has broken into Hollywood without assistance, although she confesses that pushing past her well-known surname to stand on her own two feet was challenging.


Kurt Cobain and Frances Bean Cobain
Frances Bean Cobain proved to us that she inherited her wild, candid streak from parents Cobain and Courtney Love by criticising Kendall Kardashian on Twitter, holding a suicide-themed 16th-birthday gathering, and producing provocative and crude art. She was also executive producer of the new HBO documentary on her father’s life, Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck and is currently a visual artist.


Keith Richards and Theodora & Alexandra Richards
Alexandra DJs at tons of extravagant fashion and press events while her older sister, Theodora, has modelled on many magazine covers, for Tommy Hilfiger and other high fashion brands. Growing up as rock royalty and being daddy’s girls might have been hard with all that traveling but they learnt to be adaptable to change. Both daughters are stunners and incredibly talented.


Rick Dufay (Aerosmith) and Minka Kelly
Minka Kelly starred in ABC's short-lived Charlie's Angels reboot, and won over hearts in recurring roles on Friday Night Lights and Parenthood. Minka Kelly graduated culinary school over the last week and proudly shared her accomplishments with fans on Instagram, so I guess there’s a chef in the Aerosmith family now!


Amber Le Bon and Simon Le Bon (Duran Duran)
Amber Rose Tamara Le Bon is a famous British fashion model. The eldest of the three daughters of Duran Duran lead singer Simon Le Bon and model Yasmin Le Bon. Amber is best known for her evolving career as a model, having been signed to the American department store Forever 21 upon its UK launch, and her presence on the London party scene. She trailed the footsteps of her model mum and has posed for brands such as Moschino, Myla and River Island.
