Lisa and Pete, 45, met when the Libertines were on tour in 2002 and had a brief fling that resulted in her giving birth to Astile the following year.

The musician was once-banned from seeing his son because of his drug habit, but after going to rehab and getting clean, he became a much more hands-on dad.

Speaking to Metro in 2009, Lisa explained: ‘Peter has on-and-off problems with his recovery so it was a really difficult decision to make…

‘But when he came out of rehab last year, and started to get his life in order I thought the time was right. I want Astile to have a dad.’

Pete was reported to have said: ‘When I can claim to have any sort of control over my own life, I’m going to take some responsibility for Astile. I love the little fella.’ 

He also has a daughter, Aisling, 12, with model Lindi Hingston and welcomed his third child with his wife Katia De Vidas last May – a little girl named Billie-May.

Astile has not only inherited his dad’s looks, but has also followed in both Pete and Lisa’s footsteps with exploring a career in music.

Earlier this year, he made headlines after showcasing his unique singing abilities in a Liam Gallagher tribute act in Essex.

The tribute act – dubbed ‘Liam On Sea’ – was held in January at The Boat Yard, where Astile works as a barman.

He went all out to embody the Oasis singer, 51, wearing orange tinted glasses, shaking a tambourine enthusiastically, throwing out plenty of swear words and even put on a fake Manchester accent.

The decision to emulate Liam raised eyebrows, as in what is probably the messiest family tree in rock, Astile’s half-sister Molly is Liam’s daughter.

The singer fathered Molly, 26, in 1998 with singer Lisa – two months into his marriage with Patsy Kensit – but was not involved in her life until 2018. 

Speaking after his tribute gig, Astile took YouTube channel to address the reaction and clear up any assumptions. 

He said: ‘It really is as simple as this: My sister and her relationship with her father is her business. 

‘My relationship with Liam Gallagher- well I haven’t seen the guy in four and a half years. I hung out with him for a little bit. He was a really nice guy. We got along fine.’

 He added: ‘At the end of the day, it’s my sister’s dad and it’s not for me to intrude on that. It’s not fair and I wouldn’t want to.

‘I’m as average as the next person. Except that I just happen to be related to all these people. If I wasn’t related to all these people, I don’t doubt that I would be a fan of all these people and I probably still would have done something like this.’

Discussing his plans for the future Astile revealed: ‘I really want to focus on my own career and do my own stuff. You could say this was a stepping stone. 

‘I wanted to prove I could get something like this done and now I want to prove I can get something else done if that makes sense.’

He also responded to speculation about Lisa’a current relationship with rockstars Liam and Pete, by saying the subject should be put to bed.

He said: ‘In regards to my mum’s relationship with Mr. Gallagher and my dad and stuff like that, it’s just completely unrelated to all of this. 

‘It’s the past. The past is the past. The future is the future and the now is now more importantly.’
