Rock: The next generation
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sean (left, with John) and Julian Lennon: You can hear the four- year-old Sean gurgling on some versions of "With a Little Help from my Friends" as his dad thrashes an electric guitar. Nineteen years on, Sean is energetically pursuing a career in avant-garde pop, though reception has been muted. His half-brother, Julian, enjoyed chart success, though the excitement surrounding his early career was never matched by musical credibility.
Jeff Buckley: The son of the 1970s singer-songwriter Tim Buckley escaped the fate of the little Lennons by producing a brilliant debut album, Grace, 20 years after his father's death. Sadly, Jeff's career was cut short when he drowned in 1997.
The Webb Brothers: Justin and Christian Webb took close lessons from their dad, the song-writing legend Jimmy Webb, before they aired their smart, psychedelic-tinged pop.
Others living in their dad's limelight: Jakob Dylan is the talented frontman of the band Wallflowers, and Ziggy Marley has tried to ape the success of his father, Bob. Adam Cohen is following in the footsteps of Leonard, while Zak Starkey plays drums, like his father, Ringo Starr. Pete Townshend's daughter Emma has released an album, as has Anoushka Shankar, daughter of Ravi.
