Coco Sumner does her dad proud
Performing before a large crowd at a charity benefit, Coco Sumner, only 17 years old, is sure making her daddy proud. This young chick’s dad only happens to be none other than the legendary Sting, who is Gordon Sumner in real life.
Sting’s teenage daughter seems to be a chip off the old block after performing to an appreciative crowd at a charity gig.
But Coco Sumner, 17, wasn’t letting it go to her head as she sedately sipped nothing but a cup of tea on stage.
She performed a solo acoustic set at the Trekstock event for the Teenage Cancer Trust at Boogaloo in Highgate, north London, singing a cover of Estelle’s American Boy.
Among her new admirers was Noel Fielding of the Mighty Boosh - who predicted she would be ‘massive’. Coco, who wore a fur coat, tartan scarf and Doc Martens boots, has not adopted a rock’n'roll lifestyle as yet. She drank cups of tea to steady her nerves as she performed and afterwards smiled: ‘I loved every second of it.’
On Monday it was revealed that she has just signed to Island records and is recording a debut album in Jamaica. Despite singing at one stage: ‘I’m not Sting’, a number of people noted the similarity to her dad.
Comedian Fielding said: ‘Coco’s amazing. She’s a good-looking girl. She’s got a great voice, and she’s going to be massive. ‘I didn’t realise she’s Sting’s daughter. She sounds quite like him, and it’s weird, she looks quite like him too. That’s a bit freaky.’ Fielding himself played an energetic DJ set with Boosh co-star Dave Brown.
Other celebrities at the event included Carl Barat, of Dirty Pretty Things, Sadie Frost, and EastEnders actor Perry Fenwick.
