Cruz Beckham has revealed he’s nursing a painful-looking injury while continuing to push forward with his music career.
The 20-year-old son of Sir David and Lady Victoria Beckham shared a photo on Instagram Stories on Sunday, showing his little finger wrapped in a bloodied bandage.
He didn’t elaborate on how the injury happened, adding only a peace-sign emoji over the image.
Last week, he posted a clip of himself playing guitar while his mother, Lady Victoria, sang the Spice Girls classic Viva Forever.
At one point, Sir David, who is filming the video, joined in, singing in a falsetto voice.
While the fashion designer laughed and got her own phone out to film her husband filming them, Cruz remained deadly serious, strumming away at his guitar with a frown of concentration.
He launched his fledgling music career last Christmas with a teaser video of himself singing a song called For Ya Love.
The clip was met with mockery online and some said that his music was only getting attention because of his famous parents.
“Jesus was also a nepo baby”, he clapped back in a now-deleted comment. The full song was never officially released.
In October he returned for real this time, releasing two songs on Spotify called Lick the Toad and Optics.
They were described by NME as “trippy” and contain lyrics such as “I love me some mushrooms and good head / And the erotic 69”.
The tracks were produced by Justin Raisen, who has worked with everyone from Charli xcx to Drake. Cruz also played a gig at The George Tavern in east London to 100 people.
While his older brother Brooklyn often faces the mirth of the internet for his various misguided career choices, it appears Cruz is getting a warmer reception.
“More talent than Brooklyn tbf”, reads a top comment on a TikTok video of Cruz opening for indie rock band The Royston Club on the London leg of their tour.
Elsewhere, Cruz had his driving licence revoked after racking up two speeding offences within two years of passing his test.
According to the Mail on Sunday, both incidents involved him going over the limit in 20mph areas.
He is among 500,000 drivers caught speeding in similar zones.
Cruz’s second offence is believed to have happened on September 2, the publication reported. At the time, he told his Instagram followers he had been caught doing “24 in a 20” zone.
Under UK law, any driver who accumulates six or more penalty points within two years of passing their test has their licence automatically revoked and made void. It means Cruz will now have to re-take both his theory and practical tests to regain a licence from the DVLA.
Sources close to Cruz told the Mail he was “gutted” to lose his licence. “It’s infuriating but he seems to have taken it on the chin,” they added.
