Bo's name is a nod to Orbison Jr's late mother Barbara Orbison, who was married to Roy Snr from 1969 until his death in 1988. Barbara passed away in 2011 at the age of 61.
Orbison Jr, 47, and his wife met in Stockholm, shortly after Barbara's death. “I was very alone in life,” he told People. Then he met Asa “and I went from the darkness to the light,” he added. “Life has been bright and sunny ever since.”
Roy Orbison Jr's godparents were country legends Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash, and he is a musician in his own right. He has also worked on several retrospectives of his father's life, including albums, films and books.
He has also promoted the upcoming Roy Orbison hologram tour, which is launching next month. Watch a clip of the show below:
