From Cradle to Stage shares stories and exclusive photos featuring
mothers of rock icons, the icons themselves, and their Behind the
Music-style relationships While the Grohl family had always been
musical-the family sang together on long car trips, harmonizing to
Motown and David Bowie, Virginia Grohl never expected her son to
become a musician, let alone a rock star. But when she saw him
perform in front of thousands of screaming fans for the first time,
she knew that stardom was meant to be for her son. And as Virginia
watched her son's star rise, she often wondered about the other
mothers who raised children who became rock stars. Were they as
surprised as she was about their children's fame? Did they worry
about their children's livelihood and well-being in an industry
fraught with drugs and other dangers? Did they encourage their
children's passions despite the odds against success, or attempt to
dissuade them from their grandiose dreams? Do they remind their
kids to pack a warm coat when they go on tour? Virginia decided to
seek out other celebrity mothers to ask these questions, and so
began a two-year odyssey in which she interviewed such women as
Verna Griffin, Dr. Dre's mother; Marianne Stipe, Michael Stipe of
REM's mother; Janis Winehouse, Amy Winehouse's mother; Patsy Noah,
Adam Levine's mother; Donna Haim, mother of the Haim sisters;
Hester Diamond, Mike D of The Beastie Boys' mother. With exclusive
family photographs and a foreword by Dave Grohl, From Cradle to
Stage will appeal to mothers and music fans everywhere.
