London, July 27 (ANI): Scottish rock singer Rod Stewart has given 'Motley Crue' drummer Tommy Lee the go-ahead to woo his 27-year-old daughter, Kimberly.

Stewart and his new wife Penny Lancaster met Kimberly and Tommy for lunch at London's Soho Hotel on Wednesday.

The 62-year-old reportedly got very impressed when he learnt that Tommy had hired a helicopter to whisk Kimberly off on a date.

"I've tried some manoeuvres in my time to pursue a woman, but I've got to admit this is a pretty strong move," the Mirror quoted Stewart as saying.

"Attempting to land a helicopter in my garden just to impress my daughter... That is quite something!" he added.

Tommy first met Kimberly at a Courtney Love concert earlier this month. Desperate to see her again, he hired the chopper.

All he had planned was to pick her up from her father's home in LA and whisk her off to a gig in San Diego. He required Kimberly's father's permission to land on his grounds, but Stewart was not there to give it. After hovering overhead, Tommy finally flew away.

"She was so touched that he had made such an effort that she trekked to another airport in LA where Tommy was allowed to land. They flew to the gig from there," said a close friend of Kimberly.

"They've met up a few times but Kimberly's in Europe for the next five weeks and he's in the States," the source added.

Kimberly's friend also said that she was surprised to see the courteous behaviour of her father towards Tommy, as it was initially thought that Stewart would be very angry upon knowing about the rocker's obsession with his daughter.

"Instead Kimberly was stunned at how chivalrous her dad was being - Tommy makes her former squeezes look like choirboys in comparison," said the source. (ANI)
