Description <p>From Cradle to Stage shares stories and exclusive photos featuring mothers of rock icons, the icons themselves, and their Behind the Music-style relationships While the Grohl family had always been musical-the family sang together on long car trips, harmonizing to Motown and David Bowie, Virginia Grohl never expected her son to become a musician, let alone a rock star. But when she saw him perform in front of thousands of screaming fans for the first time, she knew that stardom was meant to be for her son. And as Virginia watched her son&rsquo;s star rise, she often wondered about the other mothers who raised children who became rock stars. Were they as surprised as she was about their children&rsquo;s fame? Did they worry about their children&rsquo;s livelihood and well-being in an industry fraught with drugs and other dangers? Did they encourage their children&rsquo;s passions despite the odds against success, or attempt to dissuade them from their grandiose dreams? Do they remind their kids to pack a warm coat when they go on tour?
