Katy Perry: 'My Mum Dated Jimi Hendrix'

October 9, 2008
Katy Perry: 'My Mum Dated Jimi Hendrix'Katy Perry has claimed that her mother, a pastor, once dated legendary guitarist Jimi Hendrix.

The 23-year-old American, who shot to fame with the summer hit 'I Kissed A Girl', said her mother, Mary Hudson, met the guitarist while travelling around the world.

“He just came up to her in a club and picked her out,” Perry told the Sun newspaper.

Perry is also quoted as saying that her father, also a pastor, turned to religion after being involved in drugs.

“Dad would have died from one tab too many if he hadn’t found God,” she said.
