Kinks star Dave Davies has lashed out at filmmaker/composer John Carpenter over Carpenter’s recent claim that he practically raised Davies’ son. Carpenter referred to Daniel Davies as “my godson, the kid that I raised” in a Billboard article published on Monday, to which the Kinks star responded about his close friend’s relationship with Daniel, “[Carpenter] helped to raise my son Daniel Davies during a difficult period in Daniel’s adolescence. [. . .] After my bust up with Daniel’s mother I moved out and, as we were close friends and as I had made him Daniel’s godfather, it was decided that my adolescent son would move in with John while things were sorted out.” He added, “It is an exaggeration for John Carpenter to say he raised my son when really he just stepped in to help during a difficult period. He did not know my son during Daniel’s early childhood years and I don’t want to come off in the press as someone who neglected a son of mine.” Copyright(c) 2015 RTTNews.com. All Rights ReservedLess «
