Do you know we've gone all year without a Pete Doherty story? So let's put that right now.
According to the NME, despite the shambles of many of Doherty's recent gigs, he put on a great show when he played at four different venues on New Year's Eve. As previously reported, Doherty played four gigs in one night for New Years, performing at venues in Birmingham, Stoke, Oldham and Manchester, the first kicking off at 8pm and the latter finishing at 3.15am.
One fan told the NME: "Birmingham was mellow, Pete did it sat down. Stoke was around midnight which was more like a proper gig. That was an amazing atmosphere. By the time we reached
Oldham it was chaos, there was a stage invasion straight away, everyone was crowding around Pete. And then Manchester was an amazing end. Manchester was special because everyone in the crowd was intoxicated by that time in the morning. It was like
Beatlemania. He had to run off from each venue with kids trying to get to get into a car!"
