Cruz Beckham and his band, The Breakers, performed at the Lollapalooza Festival in Chicago, marking their largest performance to date. The 19-year-old musician took to the stage on Sunday, showcasing his distinctive style with a star-print headscarf, double denim jacket, and chains. He played guitar and performed the band's songs, following a recent tour across the United Kingdom.
Meanwhile, Cruz's parents, David and Victoria Beckham, along with his brother Romeo, were vacationing on their yacht in the South of France. Their holiday location is near his estranged older brother, Brooklyn Beckham, and his wife, Nicola Peltz, who were also in the South of France, reportedly on a yacht with their godfather, Elton John.
This separation highlights the ongoing distance within the Beckham family. Brooklyn, 27, has been reported to be estranged from his parents and siblings, having last been pictured with them at Christmas 2024. He and Peltz have reportedly been spending more time with Elton John and his husband, David Furnish, with sources noting John appears to be supporting the couple amid family rifts.
Cruz's recent single, "Seeing Red," has been interpreted as a nod to family disputes, though he has described the lyrics as a "comedic take on a totally unserious moment of frustration." The music video for the song features football scenes, reminiscent of his father's career, but escalates into on-pitch altercations.
Speaking about his debut EP, "Wear & Tear," Cruz described it as reflecting life experiences, both positive and negative, and the shared human emotions that connect people. He stated, "Wear & Tear is synonymous to a life lived and all your life experiences so far - the good and the bad, the learning curves, and everything in between."
The Beckham family's separate holidays underscore the reported rift, with David and Victoria vacationing in St. Tropez while Brooklyn and Nicola were on a yacht near Nice. Elton John, a long-time friend of the Beckhams, appears to be aligning with Brooklyn and Nicola, having holidayed with them on multiple occasions and been seen in conversation at events.
