The official synopsis for the series reads: "In 1977, Daisy Jones & The Six were on top of the world. Fronted by two charismatic lead singers—Daisy Jones and Billy Dunne – the band had risen from obscurity to fame. And then, after a sold-out show at Chicago's Soldier Field, they called it quits.

"Now, decades later, the band members finally agree to reveal the truth. This is the story of how an iconic band imploded at the height of its powers."

Pictured cuddling up to her mum in a restaurant, she captioned it: "I feel blessed to have a photo of the last time I saw my beautiful mama. Grateful @georgieflores took this."
