Taylor spoke about whether his children were likely to follow his footsteps into the music industry.
“You definitely see the way they reflect on what it is to have a musical family,” he told People in 2022.
“You also see that people are going to be who they are. I have some that are extremely like, ‘I want to be on stage. I want to be a drummer. I want to play music’.”
Taylor added: “One of my boys said at one point, ‘You know, Dad, I think I want to control the musicians, not be one.’ I was like, ‘Okay, that’s scary.’ Future manager.
“Even though we’re parents, and we’ve seen our kids get older, we’re doing many of the things that we were doing back when we were teenagers, and they’ve seen that.”
