Madden brothers give tribute to mother

Joel and Benji Madden have revealed that songs on their new album were inspired by their mother.

The Good Charlotte rockers, who are currently in Australia to promote their new album Cardiology, said that they are very close to their parents.

Joel told The Daily Telegraph: "'There She Goes' is [written] for our mother. We hope this crazy lifestyle we chose didn't disappoint you or screw up our relationship with you because we're gone so much.

"I hope I have the same good kid karma. I want my kids to feel that way about me, that our mum feels just as close to us."

They also said: "We come to Australia too much just to hang out and party. This is what we do for a living and we didn't want to wear out our welcome."
