The family drama has taken another turn

The Beckham family drama has seemingly taken another turn after Cruz Beckham's song supposedly about Brooklyn left his brother Romeo in tears.

Romeo, David and Victoria were all in attendance in East London on Tuesday (24 March) for the youngest brother's sold-out show with his band The Breakers.

Family meet-ups look unlikely to include Brooklyn, the Beckham's first born child, for some time after his social media outburst earlier this year, where he accused his parents in particular of putting on a show in public and failing to accept his wife, Nicola Peltz.

He's even involved lawyers after asking his family not to contact him or his wife anymore, something which his mother has already breached with her social media activities.

It's not clear if Brooklyn, 27, will be aware of his brother's latest musical performance, or whether or not he might be breaching any legal compliance by potentially singing about him, but it seems evident that the lyrics of his song 'Loneliest Boy' certainly seem to reference the family feud.

The chorus includes the lyrics: “Loneliest boy, mama don’t talk too much, it’s breaking her heart.

“It shows in the small things that you don’t do. I guess in the end that it’s you, yourself, and you.

“Tell me how do you live, when you’ve got nobody to lose?”

Brooklyn recently poured more fuel on to the fire when posting a picture of his new mother-in-law for Mother's Day earlier this month, and it seems as if it was all a bit much for Romeo and Victoria, after an eyewitness spotting them getting emotional at Cruz's music.

An eyewitness told The Sun: “Romeo was sitting on a barrier at the back of the theatre with David and Victoria and he became visibly emotional when Cruz started singing Loneliest Boy.

He wiped away tears and Victoria put her arms around his shoulder to comfort him.

“It’s such a heartfelt song and Cruz appeared to be struggling to sing it at points, too.

“David had his hand on Victoria’s leg and she was holding hands with Romeo before he started to cry.

“She also put her arm around David. The whole room felt the emotion, it was a very sad but poignant moment.

“Cruz’s performance was beautiful and it was moving for everyone.”

What did Brooklyn say about his family?

In case you missed Brooklyn's long post on Instagram, or simply couldn't be bothered to read it, then here's a quick summary.

The key crux of the issue seems to be his dissatisfaction with how his family, and indeed large parts of the media, view his American actress wife.

"The narrative that my wife controls me is completely backwards," he began.

"I have been controlled by my parents for most of my life. I grew up with overwhelming anxiety."

He added: "For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family."

There were, of course, many revelations about what went down at his first wedding, when Victoria allegedly had the first dance and was declared the most beautiful woman in the room by the wedding DJ.

But he also included allegations about being turned away at his father's birthday party, while accusing his mother of refusing to make Nicola's wedding dress while also inviting women from his past into his life.
