Another Doherty fracas for you - hurrah! Though this one wasn't because he failed to turn up on stage at one of his own gigs, rather he did turn up on stage at someone else's. According to the NME, the former Libertine was at the 333 club in Hoxton on Thursday night to see a mate's band play. Everything was going fine - with Doherty jamming with said band during their support set. The problems began when the next band on the bill,
Crazy Girl, got ready to play, mainly because Doherty et al didn't seem over keen to leave the stage so they could perform.
Crazy
Girl's lead singer Tiff McGinnis told NME: "Apparently he [Doherty] knew somebody in the first band and was jamming with them but we were meant to go on. So we went on and he kept coming on stage to grab the mic, and all of his friends were trying to grab the mic too. When they realised they weren't going to get to come on stage some chick grabbed a fire extinguisher and sprayed us and all of our equipment. So then I went to hit her and him [Doherty] and a fight broke out."
Although
333 bosses are playing down the extent of that punch up, one audience member confirmed to the NME that Crazy Girl's set had to be cut short after Doherty's friend damaged their kit with the fire extinguisher: "A lot of people were there to see her who didn't get to see the gig. She only managed three songs.
The crowd were chanting 'Crazy Girl' and 'Fuck You Pete' - it was quite funny."
