I'm trying to find the name of a movie that is probably 25 years old, it is about a young boy (around 12/14) who's mother dies and he is taken out of military school to go to live on tour with his rock star father he has never known. Set in the usa. Can anyone help?

Blame It on the Night (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086974/)

Oh my god, thank you, you are a legend x

Glad to help.
