With Georgia May Jagger grabbing all the headlines following her starring role in the new Rimmel commercial, once again attention focusses on the offspring of the rock'n'roll world. At first it would seem that being raised by a rock star would be every teenager's dream, but the reality can be very different as things can get weird or you could turn out to be a bit of a disaster. Here are ten examples...
Trixie Garcia
Being the daughter of Grateful Dead front man, Jerry Garcia, meant that drugs were no stranger. The poor tot had her first psychedelic experience aged one and a half after a bag of magic mushrooms had been left out. Her sister also had a run-in with some acid-spiked orange juice.
Frances Bean Cobain
The off spring of Nirvana's Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love. After Kurt shot himself, poor little FB was left to be raised by Love, and what a loving, thoughtful mother she was. Love once revealed to People magazine how she wanted to make her 2003 OxyContin overdose "fun" for her eleven-year-old daughter, who made her mum green tea while they waited for the ambulance to arrive. Ah, bless...
Marquise 5 Jackson
It's all about safety first in the eyes of 50 Cent which explains why the American gang-banging hip hop superstar saw it fit to fit out his six-year-old son, Marquise, with a miniature bulletproof vest. Essential in any small child's wardrobe.
Peaches Geldof
Daughter of Boomtown Rats frontman Bob Geldof and his deceased wife, Paula Yates. If your dad’s been knighted and is highly regarded as a great humanitarian, as a teenager, shouldn't you keep a low profile and engage in some positive, constructive activity? Conversley you could display a voracious appetite for fame and show yourself to be the precocious brat you are in full view of the public.
Elijah Blue Allman
The product of Greg Allman's dalliance with Cher. And the best way to rebel against your Southern-rockin’ hippie father? Wear eyeliner and form a goth-rock band called Deadsy. Undoubtedly, Elijah suffered severe emotional scarring after starring alongside his scantily clad mum in the video for Turn Back Time.
Kelly & Jack Osbourne
Sharon and Ozzy, Jack and Kelly – we've all seen the domestic bliss on the telly over the years. What caring parents they were to have bequeathed their kids foul mouths, personal publicists and stints in rehab before their eighteenth birthdays.
Sean Lennon
Given her solo records and the fact she split up the Beatles, it seems that anything to do with Yoko tends to be bad for music. And that's a tad unfortunate for her son Sean, who makes dull indie. Despite the fact that he is now in his mid 30s, still seems to hang out with his mum a LOT which is a bit weird.
Sean Stewart
Rod's son claims to be a songwriter but he's done little more than write the theme for his failed 2007 reality series “Sons of Hollywood.” He then went to jail after hurling a brick at a couple outside of a party before wangling his way onto “Celebrity Rehab.” On a recent US TV chat show appearance he complained about the lack of affection from his parents, particularly his unpaid personal training bills. Poor little lamb.
Lisa Marie Presley
She married Michael Jackson which is pretty out there by anyone's standards. After that went pear shaped she moved on to Nicolas Cage, and then declared herself an artist and tried her hand at a music career at age 35. Two albums of overproduced pap later and most of us wish she'd stuck to running her old man's estate.
Moon Unit Zappa
Frank Zappa's daughter makes the list by virtue of her name, obviously. Only someone as completely out there as Frank could have come up with one like that when she was born in 1968. She is known as Moon because Unit is officially down as her middle name. Of course.
