Domingo shocked by granddaughter's nude photos

Spanish opera singer Placido Domingo was "appalled" when he learned his granddaughter had posed naked for Playboy.

"I am hurt for my family and, of course, I am not happy about it," said Domingo, aged 60.

Granddaughter Ivonne is the daughter of his son Jose, from the singer's first marriage when aged 16.

"I haven't seen the pictures because that would be the last thing I could do," the famed tenor said.

"I just wish her well and hope that she will be happy. She has chosen to do this; it is her choice."
