Pete Doherty's son Astile, 23, launches into an extraordinary social media rant as he says: 'I hope you die of a painful terminal disease like AIDS or cancer'

Pete Doherty's son Astile launched into an extraordinary rant on social media on Sunday night. 

Astile, 23, whose mother is Lisa Moorish, 54, did not address anyone in particular in his post but was particularly impassioned in his foul-mouthed message. 

He wrote: 'If you're seeing this, I mean this message with the utmost sincerity: I hope you die of a painful disease like AIDS or cancer.  F*** your life and anyone you care about,  you c***. F*** you.' 

Daily Mail has contacted Astile for further information. 

Pete, 47, and Lisa, 54, 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, it was previously reported he had became a much more hands-on dad.

Astile shared a picture of himself and his father on Instagram in June 2023, four years after Pete got clean from hard drugs like heroin.

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 May 2024, 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 and poetry. 

He previously 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 2024 at The Boat Yard, where Astile works as a barman.

The decision to emulate Liam raised eyebrows at the time, as Astile's half-sister Molly is Liam's daughter.

The singer fathered Molly, 28, in 1998 with singer Lisa - but he 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.'
