Alfie is no stranger to performing - having previously been filmed singing the likes of Whitney Houston to shoppers along Market Street as many stopped in awe to watch the youngster.
The Manchester Evening News previously spoke to Alfie's dad, Ste, who confessed that Alfie was 'trying to sing before he could talk' at the age of just one, mimicking Jessie J on stage at the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
The youngster, who attends Priestnall High School in Heaton Mersey, previously went viral on social media site TikTok and made headlines after he was seen busking in Manchester to raise money for the children of Ukraine, back in March last year.
The 12-year-old also regularly shares videos of himself singing songs to his Facebook page, including to the likes of Lady Gaga, Billie Eilish and Celine Dion.
"Singing is all he has ever wanted to do. He isn't like a typical kid playing video games - he comes straight in from school and just wants to go upstairs and sing," his dad Ste said.
