AceShowbiz - Robert Downey Jr. writes a Facebook post about Indio's struggle with drug addiction and his son's road to sobriety. "Congrats are in order for my firstborn, and I'm proud to oblige ...," the Iron Man star began his message.
"Having braved the crucible of addiction (and pleased the court), his ongoing commitment to recovery continues to inspire and amaze ... As long as we can remember, Indio has been a musician at heart. In the last several years, with his band mate Ralph Alexander, I've witnessed their dedication, consistency, and determination to grow as artists. I've also made it my business to be of as little help as possible, as nepotism usually does more harm than good..."
He added, "Just for today, I'm gonna ease up on that. Trust me and give these fine young men a listen." He included a video that showed a snippet of his son's work.
