Pete Doherty’s son Astile showcased his unique singing skills to an intimate audience with his Liam Gallagher tribute act in Essex on Friday evening.

Astile, 20, whose mother is Lisa Moorish, went all out to embody the singer, 51, as he wore orange-tinted glasses and enthusiastically shook a tambourine.

He kept his audience entertained at The Boat Yard, Leigh-on-Sea with his renditions of Oasis’s Shakermaker, Wonderwall and Hello.

Astile, who also works as a bartender at the venue, mimicked Liam’s singing pose and even put on a fake Manchester accent for the performance.

What listeners might not know is that Astile isn’t just a fan of Liam: the two are actually somewhat related.

In what is probably the messiest family tree in rock, Astile’s half-sister Molly is the daughter of Lisa, 52, but also the daughter of Liam.

Liam and Molly only met in 2018, and both he and Pete have since moved on from singer-songwriter Lisa.

At the mini concert Astile spoke to the audience between songs in Liam’s Mancunian accent, peppering his speech with swear words, as the rocker would do.

Astile is a bartender at The Boat Yard, so the small crowd in attendance included some of his colleagues.

He shouted out to his fellow bar staff during the show and dedicated Wonderwall to them.

The tribute act – called ‘Liam On Sea’ – comes 10 years after his father’s band, The Libertines, attracted a crowd of more than 60,000 to their reunion concert in Hyde Park.

But while he received some cheers between songs, there were only a handful of people dancing.

The rock star connections are well known, thanks to Lisa's well-publicized conversations in the late 1990s and early 2000s with the iconic rockers, both of whom have two other children, with different mothers to each of their children.

Astile is Pete’s eldest child, whom he shares with Molly. They met while his band Libertines was on tour in 2002 when he met the lead singer of Kill City. The following year she gave birth to their son.

The singer was once not allowed to see his son due to his drug addiction, but after going to rehab and getting clean, he became a much more hands-on father.

Lisa told Metro in 2009: ‘Peter has had occasional problems with his recovery, so it was a very difficult decision to make…

“But when he got out of rehab last year and started getting his life in order, I thought the time was right. I want Astile to have a father.”

Pete is reported to have said, “If I can claim to have any kind of control over my own life, I’m going to take some responsibility for Astile. I love the little guy.”

Pete also has a daughter, Aisling, with model Lindi Hingston, who shared the news of her daughter’s arrival in 2012, a year after her birth.

A week after Linda shared the news, Pete said, “The little girl was two months early. I said I’d try to be there for the birth… Yes, she’s mine.”

Pete is now happily married to his Puta Madres bandmate Katia De Vidas and the couple welcomed daughter Billie-May in May last year.

Liam, meanwhile, fathered Molly in 1998 with singer Lisa – two months after his marriage to Patsy Kensit – but was not involved in her life until 2019.

Liam has a fourth child whom he has never met in the US, a daughter named Gemma, born in 2012 to New York journalist Liza Ghorbani.
