Nancy Boy, a glam-rock band
led by Donovan Leitch (the
model, actor and son of the
'60s Sunshine Superman singer
Donovan), releases its first
U.S. album this week but
already counts Mick Jagger
among its fans. "We were
playing at Don Hill's, a club in New York City, and the
night before, I saw Mick at the Council of Fashion
Designers awards," says Leitch, 28. "His daughter Karis
is a really old friend of mine, and he said, `I'll come and
check you guys out.' When he walked in, it was bedlam.
He's like Nancy Boy's Auntie Em." But then, Leitch is
rooted in '60s rock. "My mother [Enid Karl] told me I
was conceived at George Harrison's house," he says,
adding that his dad also has a record due later this year.
"We won't get the bin next to his, though. He's Donovan,
we're Nancy Boy."
