Katie Cassidy, the 15 years old daughter of David Cassidy has started in showbiz and is doing it without the advice of her father. What's even stranger … her first single is a cover of her dad's Partridge Family hit 'I Think I Love You'.
David told Undercover News the news of his daughters showbiz debut was never discussed with him first. "I was never consulted " he told Undercover. "She never lived with me. I only met her 5 years ago. Her family unit lives in Los Angeles and she is a wonderful girl. She is a sweetheart. If they had consulted me I would probably have said what I saw to everyone. "Don't do it now. Stay in school, graduate college and then develop your craft". I wish her well. She is a beautiful girl."
Cassidy's own family unit is however working alongside in the music biz. His wife Sue is a songwriter and his son is also musically inclined. "My son has lived with from the moment he was born and is with me every day" David says. "He truly is a very gifted boy. He is 11 and knows what it is about. He wants to go to Julliard. His mother is a fabulous writer and singer and comes from a musical background from her side. From my side, there is my father and my mother and my grandparents. He comes by genuinely on both sides. I know what his destiny is. It is set on doing it right. I hope the best for both of them of course and I will help them where I can. It is difficult. I spend most of my day working on my career. My brothers and I have always respected each others careers. We don't have the same managers. We don't do TV shows together. We have our own lives, families and careers. I don't talk about their lives, families and careers. It is not my job, it is their job".
David Cassidy will tour Australia in November starting November 7 at the Wollongong Entertainment Centre. He also plays Brisbane November 9, Melbourne November 11, Newcastle November 13, Sydney November 16, Adelaide November 18 and Perth November 21
