Joel Madden: "I like to dress up as Santa"

Good Charlotte frontman Joel Madden has revealed to Kerrang! that he'll be dressing up as Father Christmas today for his children Harlow (2) and Sparrow (1).

"I do the Easter Bunny at Easter, too" he laughs. "I'm definitely going to do the whole Santa Claus thing [today]. I'll probably get [my daughter] everything she wants too; I'm a soft touch. Although, thinking about it, maybe I'll leave one thing off her list so she gets to learn a little bit about reality. Generally, I'm a sucker with my daughter, though. I can't help myself with her, she owns me. I'm different with my son - he gets it a lot harder. Poor guy."

Good Charlotte will return to the UK in February to headline the Kerrang! Relentless Energy Drink Tour with Four Year Strong, Framing Hanley and The Wonder Years. For tickets see www.aloud.com.
