Cruz Beckham brought his parents Sir David and Lady Victoria to tears during an emotional performance in London on Wednesday.
The musican, 20, took to the stage with his band The Breakers at what is believed to be the former Laylow venue in Notting Hill, a celebrity hotspot once frequented by Taylor Swift and Rihanna.
It was the first time Cruz’s parents had watched their youngest son perform live and they could not contain their emotions, with Sir David later admitting on Instagram the evening was “full of love & a few tears of joy and pride”.
The exclusive event was reportedly booked entirely by Sir David, 50, to ensure privacy for the special occasion.

Lady Victoria, 51, stood front row to witness her son’s performance, later gushing on Instagram: “Wow!!! You look so happy Cruz and we couldn’t be prouder we love you @cruzbeckham xxxxxxxxxx.” (sic)
The setlist included Cruz’s latest singles, including the explicit track Optics, which features lyrics about drugs and sex.
During the song, he sings: “Take a thousand selfies in your bed while I trip in mine. I love me some mushrooms and good head and an erotic 69.”
His second single, Lick The Toad, takes a different approach, focusing on Mother Nature rather than the racier themes.

Supporting from the audience were his sister Harper, grandmother Sandra, 76, and his girlfriend Jackie Apostel, 30.
Close family friend David Gardner, 49, was also present, telling followers Cruz’s performance was “sooooooooo good”.
Ms Apostel dropped a major hint about Cruz’s musical future, asking followers on social media: “Might it finally be time to drop what we’ve all been waiting for? @cruzbeckham.”
The Brazilian songwriter’s suggestion of a debut album comes after Cruz recently signed with top music management company C3, who previously worked with US indie group The Strokes.
He has been spotted in recording studios and performing at grassroots venues as he builds his music career.
The intimate performance follows Cruz and Lady Victoria’s viral duet of the Spice Girls’ Viva Forever earlier this week, which had fans calling for a Christmas number one release.
The emotional family gathering stands in stark contrast to the ongoing rift with eldest son Brooklyn, 26, and his wife Nicola Peltz, 30.
Brooklyn was notably absent from Sir David’s recent knighthood ceremony at Windsor Castle and his father’s 50th birthday celebrations.
Sources close to the family suggest the feud, which reportedly began after Brooklyn and Nicola’s 2022 wedding, centres on allegations Sir David and Lady Victoria sold stories about the couple to the press.
The tension has seen Brooklyn and his brothers unfollow each other on Instagram.
