Rock & Roll Moms

Moms. They’re so great. They’re also the reason you’re here! But some moms are also the reason we have awesome music – like these fine ladies!

1. COURTNEY LOVE

Courtney is mom to Frances Bean Cobain, her daughter with Kurt Cobain. She and Frances haven’t always gotten along, but as of recently they’re on better terms. Courtney’s mom is Linda Carroll, an author and well-known couples therapist, and her grandma was Paula Fox, a child novelist.

2. GWEN STEFANI

Gwen’s is 47 and has three kids – and that shiz is B-A-N-A-N-A-S. Look at her! The rock gods have been good to Gwen. Three Grammy awards, successful band and solo careers and three kids – one of whom is named Apollo Bowie after David Bowie! Rockstar mom level: ACQUIRED.

3. YOKO ONO

She was wife and mother to two iconic artists, but she didn’t let that overshadow her own fame. She’s received dozens of awards for both her work as a musician and a peace activist. Her son with John Lennon, Sean, followed in his parent’s footsteps by pursuing a career in music with his band The Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger – say that ten times fast.

4. REGINE CHASSAGNE

Regine’s parents immigrated from Haiti to Montreal, where she met husband Win Butler. Together they founded Arcade Fire – and started their family! In 2013 they welcome a baby boy, but the family has kept him out completely out of the public eye. All we know is that he was seven-pounds when he was born, but probably weighs a little more now.

5. ALANIS MORISETTE

Alanis is mom to twelve Junos, seven Grammys and two kids. Since having her son Ever and daughter Onyx with husband and rapper Souleye, she’s taken a break from music. And she looks pretty happy doing it.

There are so many rockstar moms! Bjork, M.I.A., Dave Grohl’s mom Virginia, Melissa McClelland of Whitehorse, Amy Milan of Broken Social Scene and more! These are just a few of the ladies that raise their kids while still turning out some of your favourite songs. Cheers to moms everywhere!
