Madden: Harlow will be a rocker too

Joel Madden is convinced his baby daughter Harlow is destined to follow in his musical footsteps - because she is already showing a talent for tunes at just nine months of age.

The Good Charlotte rocker says he could one day be hitting the road with Harlow - his baby with Nicole Richie - performing as father and daughter.

He tells People magazine: "I have a feeling she's going to be musical because she loves instruments.

"She has a little piano that I took the legs off and put on the floor. She lays there and just bangs it."

But Richie is hoping Harlow becomes a dancer instead: "She's going to be a dancer. I'm going to put her in ballet (classes) when she can start walking."

But they both agree on one thing - Harlow will get to choose.

Madden adds: "I just want to give her the option to try whatever she wants."
