Among his children, some have chosen artistic paths reminiscent of their father’s creative pursuits. Squire’s eldest daughter, for instance, pursued art education and now channels her creativity into crafting feminist comics.
The influence of the Squire family’s artistic legacy continues with his eldest son, who has ventured into the world of music by joining a band. While Squire admits to not attending his son’s performances as frequently as he might like, he acknowledges the familial connection through a shared love of music.

Squire’s children represent a new generation discovering and embracing the cultural impact of his former band, the Stone Roses. Their engagement goes beyond mere nostalgia, as the sons and daughters of the Stone Roses’ original members, including Squire, become enthusiasts in their own right.
In a poignant moment, Squire reflects on an encounter with his daughter’s friend, who chose to immortalize the Stone Roses’ iconic lemon motif with a tattoo. While the gesture is a testament to the enduring influence of the band, Squire’s response carries a hint of introspection and a sense of responsibility, recognizing that the same age group is as old as his daughter Martha.
