Like father like son.
Peter Andre has thrown his support behind his son Junior, attending his first ever gig as he follows in his dad’s footsteps in the music industry.
Junior, who recently released his first single Slide, on Tuesday evening played to a packed out venue in Sunderland at Shutdown, an under-18s event.
Watching on from backstage, Peter declared himself a ‘proud Pops’.
‘So proud of you on your first ever gig son. Let’s go go go 🔥 🚀 @officialjunior_andre ,’ Peter wrote, adding: ‘So much more to come…..’.
‘Best night ever !!’ Junior, 17, responded.
He’s also set to perform at Shutdown’s Leeds event on Friday.
Junior dropped his debut single in June this year, and it shot straight to the top of the iTunes chart.
The teen, who Peter shares with Katie Price, signed a record deal with Columbia Records last August, which he said was a ‘dream come true.’
He has been hard at work in the studio ever since, perfecting his craft.

Junior’s famous family have been his biggest cheerleaders, with Peter saying he’s ‘so happy for him’ and raving about his ‘passion and dedication’.
The teen was also supported by Peter and his younger sister Princess, 14, at his launch party, where he performed the track exclusively for a crowd of fans.
