Additionally his performance did the Cure no favours.
I do question why the middle aged son of an extremely successful multi millionaire musician who is an icon of the music industry should decide to now hit the music scene - perhaps it's a mid life crisis combined with a need to prove himself?
And no, the Beatles children should not try to re create the Beatles - they may resemble them physically but they certainly do not sound like them! Much better to be proud of your parents than try unsuccessfully to recreate their talent and live off their backs!
I've never heard Macca's son's music. But I can imagine it's a massive dissability/ burdern to be a musician, being the son of someone like that and want to play music.

It's like trying to play electric guitar and being the son of Jimi Hendrix if he was still alive!
