All Saints’ Natalie Appleton’s son Ace Howlett towers over her as they attend immersive David Bowie event
NATALIE Appleton’s son Ace looked every inch the grown-up rockstar as he attended a new Bowie exhibition with his famous Mum.
The pair posed on the red carpet at the opening night of David Bowie: You’re Not Alone at The Lightroom in London.
Ace is the son of the All Saints star and her husband, The Prodigy’s Liam Howlett.
Natalie is around 5’5″, while her famous other half, Liam, is 6’1″, and it looks like Ace certainly inherited his Dad’s lofty genes.
The 22-year-old towered over his Mum as the mum-and-son duo posed for photographers at the showbiz event.
Liam Howlett and Natalie have been together for 25 years after they met at V Festival in 2000. They married in 2002, and Ace was born in 2004.
Natalie also has an older daughter, Rachel, 33, from a previous relationship with Dreamboys stripper Carl Robinson.
Despite their fame, Natalie and Liam have kept their family life relatively private, choosing to let their son carve out his own path.
And it seems that approach has paid off, with Ace now making a name for himself on the London music scene in his own right.
Following in the footsteps of his musical parents, Ace is bass guitarist for the Camden-based group, Pedestrian Band, with his proud Mum known to plug his music on her socials.
Ace’s band Pedestrian are still emerging on the London indie scene, but they’re already turning heads with their experimental sound.
The trio have released their debut EP and built a cult following, earning a reputation as one of Camden’s most exciting up-and-coming acts.
While he isn’t relying on his famous surname, Ace is well-connected in music, with cousin Gene Gallagher, son of Nicole Appleton and Liam Gallagher.
Meanwhile, Natalie and her sister Nicole shot to fame in 1996 alongside Shaznay Lewis and Melanie Blatt in the girl band All Saints.
The group proved a massive hit and brought fans songs like Pure Shores, Black Coffee, and Never Ever.
The foursome became huge stars, with Nicole and Natalie going on to date some big celebrities, before settling down with Liam.
Nicole once had a high-profile with Robbie Williams between 1997 and 1999, which included an engagement and a terminated pregnancy.
Natalie and Ace attended the launch of Lightroom’s latest exhibition of immersive Bowie content projected onto it’s 11-metre-high walls and floor.
The hour-long experience features live recordings, interviews and unseen footage from the David Bowie Archive.
With a huge sound system and Bowie as narrator, it’s considered the closest to experiencing the late icon live.
David Bowie: You’re Not Alone will run at Lightroom near King’s Cross from 22nd April 2026.
Tickets are priced from £25 for adults and £15 for students and concessions.
