Yasmin Kerr: Bio Summary

Yasmin Kerr’s father James Kerr  is a Scottish singer and the lead singer of the rock band Simple Minds, becoming best known internationally for “Don’t You (Forget About Me)” (1985), which topped the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States. Other commercially successful singles include “Glittering Prize” (1982), “Someone Somewhere in Summertime” (1982), “Waterfront” (1983) and “Alive and Kicking” (1985), as well as the UK number one single “Belfast Child” (1989).

Her parents got married in 1984, they got married in a beautiful ceremony in the presence of their family, friends, and loved ones. Yasmin is the only child the couple share together. Yamin’s parents met in Australia in 1985, while touring with their respective bands.

Hynde, lead singer of The Pretenders, was still going out with Ray Davies of The Kinks, the father of her eldest daughter, Natalie. Their relationship was tempestuous, to say the least, so it didn’t take much effort from Kerr to persuade Hynde to marry him.

But several days after tying the knot, the 25-year-old Scotsman, James Karr took off on a two-year world tour, leaving his already pregnant wife behind.

Once he returned, instead of staying by his family’s side in London, he went to Scotland with his band to write songs. And that was the end of their marriage. Hynde responded by taking eight years off the road and settled in Maida Vale to raise her children on her own.

Yasmin Kerr’s parents divorced in 1990; Her mother, Hynde then married Colombian artist and sculptor Lucho Brieva in 1997. They also divorced in 2002.
