Karrie concern for
Charlotte
by Karen Price
FORMER Phantom of the Opera
star Peter Karrie would stop his teenage
daughter from following Charlotte Church into a
singing career.
Karrie, who was performing with Charlotte in
Wales last night in Swansea Grand Theatre, says
although the timing may have been right for the
Cardiff-born soprano to release her debut album
when she was just 12, he would not want his own
daughter Alex to experience the downside of fame
at such a young age.
And the entertainer, who says he looks upon
Charlotte as his own daughter, says the singer
should ignore the negative tabloid stories about
her.
"Charlotte is a sensitive kid and I would think
the negative stuff would have a terrible effect
on her," said the father-of-six who was joined
on stage by Charlotte last night as part of his
Peter Karrie and Friends Tour.
"She's no different to anyone else and has ups
and downs like the rest of us.
"I would tell her to just ignore the negative
tabloid reports."
Karrie, from Bridgend, says his 15-year-old
daughter Alex has a "beautiful voice" but she
prefers horse jumping to singing.
"I wouldn't have wanted her to go into music as
young as Charlotte did due to the stresses and
strains. I want her to enjoy childhood. I've
known Charlotte so long I regard her as part of
the family. We've done a few shows together in
the past. She has changed direction in her
career so it was good to see how she's changed."
