Sting's rocker daughter Coco scrapped her entire debut album - after a "gut feeling" told her to start the record again.
The 19-year-old daughter of the star and his wife Trudie Styler is preparing to launch The Constant, in September, with her group I Blame Coco.
But work on the record initially proved so difficult, Coco decided to start again from scratch.
She tells The Sun, "I just had a gut feeling and scrapped the whole album.
"The new album took about nine months to finish. I started writing new material and couldn't stop. I've got lots of tracks left over that I might use on future albums." Source: Ananova

Sting emotional after orchestral tour debut
Rocker Sting had to fight back tears at the first date in his Symphonicity Tour in Vancouver, Canada on Wednesday night as he struggled with stagefright and the sheer weight of what he had accomplished.
The former The Police frontman will tour the world backed by the London Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra and before he debuted orchestral versions of hits like Roxanne and Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic, the 58 year old star took a few seconds to savour the moment.
Calling his new band "50 of the best musicians in the world", Sting performed for three hours at the Center in Vancouver for Performing Arts.
In an exclusive interview with TV show Entertainment Tonight just before the show, the rocker confessed to being more than a little anxious.
He said, "This is a big deal for me. It's a huge responsibility. At the same time, I'm thrilled - like a kid with a new train set. It's a mixed bag of emotions.
"I think it's important to have a little bit of nerves, but once I'm on stage, I'm not nervous. Just before you go on, you get that little tingling. I take what I do seriously; I don't take it for granted." Source: Ananova

The Clash have been awarded the Inspiration Award in music magazine Mojo's Honours List.
The awards, which also featured The Kinks' Ray Davies, recognise career-long contributions to music.
Mojo editor-in-chief Phil Alexander said the Clash had a "pushy bravado" which created songs "that remain as powerful and relevant today".
Davies, described as "consistently brilliant", won the songwriter prize for writing "classic material".
Davies wrote classic 1960s songs such as Waterloo Sunset, You Really Got Me and Lola.
Other stars honoured by the awards included James Brown, Marianne Faithfull, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Morrissey, Sting and the Black Eyed Peas. Source: Ananova
