Cruz Beckham Launches Sold-Out UK Tour with Birmingham Performance
Cruz Beckham, the 21-year-old son of David and Victoria Beckham, commenced his highly anticipated UK tour in spectacular fashion on Wednesday, taking to the stage at Mama Roux's in Birmingham. Joined by his band, The Breakers, he delivered a vibrant set featuring tracks from his debut album, Lick The Toad, marking a significant milestone in his burgeoning music career.
Support from Girlfriend Jackie Apostel
Watching from the sidelines was his girlfriend, Jackie Apostel, 30, who enthusiastically supported Cruz by wearing a Cruz Beckham and The Breakers baseball cap paired with a white vest. She beamed with pride throughout the performance, singing along to the songs and capturing moments on her phone. Jackie also showcased tour merchandise, including a hoodie listing all the tour dates on the back, adding to the celebratory atmosphere.
Quirky Style and Musical Highlights
Cruz displayed his distinctive fashion sense on stage, donning a red shirt and a striped tie while performing with his guitar in hand. The tour follows the release of his single, For Your Love, which has contributed to the sold-out status of the shows. This event represents a culmination of his hard work and dedication to his musical ambitions.
Heartwarming Tribute to Victoria Beckham
In a series of photos shared on his Instagram Story prior to the show, Cruz revealed a humorous and heartfelt nod to his mother, Victoria Beckham. He customized the IEM systems for his bandmates with Spice Girls-themed nicknames, including:
- Smokey Spice
- Stoney Spice
- Coffee Spice
- Hairy Spice
This creative tribute highlighted his playful connection to his family's legacy in the entertainment industry.
Behind-the-Scenes Preparations
Throughout the day, Cruz offered fans a glimpse into the tour preparations via Instagram. He posted photos of himself in a leather jacket posing with crew members wearing 'Crews Beckham' T-shirts, as well as images featuring his band's branded baseball cap. Accompanied by the caption 'See you soon Birmingham,' these posts built excitement among his followers.
Background on Cruz's Music Career
The couple, who have been together since 2024 after meeting at Glastonbury, have been supportive of each other's endeavors. Earlier this month, Cruz released the music video for For Your Love, which is inspired by The Stone Roses and serves as an ode to his family. The video includes:
- A namecheck for his brother Romeo
- Filming at his father David's favorite pie and mash restaurant
- A cameo from his grandad Tony Adams, Victoria's father
In the video, Tony appears on an old-fashioned TV screen, introducing the band for their 'first TV performance.' Additionally, a music executive accidentally refers to Cruz as Romeo, further emphasizing the family-centric theme.

For Your Love follows Cruz's debut single Optics, released in October last year alongside Lick The Toad, which marked the beginning of his music career. Cruz announced his debut headline show with The Breakers at The Courtyard Theatre in London on March 27, which sold out within minutes. The full UK and EU tour itinerary includes:
